Wells Cathedral Summer School Projects offers a dynamic overview of its Woodwind, Brass, and Percussion (WBP) course through an engaging film created by Integrity Films, and designed for an audience of prospective students. Emphasising inclusivity and the absence of auditions, the film underscores the diverse age and skill range of participants. It highlights the transformative experience where drum kit players evolve into percussionists and brass musicians explore various genres, from Renaissance to jazz and pop.
The daily routine at the summer school involves instrumental workshops, ensemble performances, and collaborative learning sessions. The camaraderie among participants fosters a supportive environment where friendships flourish, and skills are honed through daily performance workshops and feedback sessions.
With experienced tutors from Wells and UK Conservatoires, students receive personalised instruction and exposure to a rich repertoire, culminating in a final concert showcasing their progress. The film captures the essence of communal learning, where participants of all levels leave with a profound sense of achievement and newfound expertise, making the WBP course a transformative experience for all involved.
