Our Courses
Olney Conducting Workshops are famous for good home-cooked food and excellent cake.
We normally run two Weekend courses per year, one in October and one in April or May.
We also run Study Days, programmed for a variety of reasons, whether requested by students or aimed at addressing a particular aspect of the conductor's job, such as accompanying soloists.
Our Beginnners' Courses are likely to be one-day events and will vary in format, depending on numbers and requirements of students.
