What our students
and parents say
about us
“I loved the challenge of having to think about music in a completely new way. I feel so much more confident in improvising now and found it helpful to see how dancers improvise and develop their own choreography, layering up and developing ideas as a group just like we were doing with our music.” SWMS student, following the 2019 Core Residential in collaboration with Swindon Dance
“I just wanted to say a really big thank you for everything you’ve done for me at SWMS. I loved the residentials, they were so much fun and I feel that I got a lot from them and met so many nice, talented people. I’ve loved it all and especially my lessons with Patrick have been fantastic – I’ve learned so much from him in the past two years. Just thanks so much, SWMS is amazing!” Louise, composer
“The residential was one of the best things I have ever done. The place was amazing, I loved it. I really didn’t want to go home! I learned how to take more of a lead role, and how to help others. I learned the basics of harmony work and also I learned perseverance. It was inspiring, fun, and educational.” Sophie, singer songwriter
“I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you and all the tutors at the workshops. I know that Meg is really benefiting from their expertise and we really appreciate that.” Louise, parent
“Emma wanted to thank everyone for a great day at the Woodwind and Brass Day yesterday. She said it was a great experience. As a Mum I could only say “WOW” to her playing. More please!” Jan, parent
