“The attitude of the participants made it very easy to fit in and have a great time – people were very friendly and accepting of all levels of ability – it didn’t seem excluding in any way”

"I'd like to say a big THANK YOU for such a wonderful HISS this year!  I had a great time and I very much appreciated all your hard work.  The course content was fantastic, the tutors knowledgeable and friendly, the organisation great and [Graham and Chris were] particularly reassuring and helpful.  I'm already looking forward to next year!"

“I like the range of different options – so many interesting sessions.  Many of them stretched my abilities and took me outside of my comfort zone, and I feel I have learned an awful lot this week”

"I met a variety of wonderful people and made some great music, including repertoire from Josquin, Ramsey, Morley and Praetorius. I also attended a spectacular session on the music of Hildegard von Bingen run by Vivien Ellis. In the evenings I enjoyed performances from musicians such as Susanna Pell, Jacob Heringman, Duo Corde, Mary Tyers and Stewart Hardy...It was an absolutely wonderful five days, and it is a course I can wholeheartedly recommend. Great tutors, fun sessions and a chance to meet a lot of amazing and friendly people - what more could you want!
