WOMAD

A few students were so taken by last years Summer School that they made the 'Unofficial WOMAD Summer School 2008 Website' Check it out for for a full flavour of what lies in store.

Here's what students who attended WOMAD Summer School 2008 had to say about their experiences

Drum Academy

"Spending a week with Billy Cobham for an aspiring drummer is the equivalent of a week with David Beckham if you're a huge football fan."

"Wow, what a week seeing a master at work."

Guitar Connections
"I thoroughly enjoyed the week. Although I am a virtual beginner the tuition was great and I never felt left behind."

"I'm going away with more knowledge of African music, more confidence in my playing and it was a great break from the world."

"The jamming session with Justin, Juldeh and N'Faly on Thursday afternoon was the over-riding memory that I will take home with me"

Singer Songwriters
"Andy was a superb teacher and communicator. The quality of Andy's teaching was excellent. He was very encouraging and supportive."

"Have gained an awareness of the broader scope of music's reach to encompass a wealth of styles, voices and percussion."

"The Singer Songwriter's course with Andy really opened my eyes to the possibilities of my music."

Children's Art Camp
"Every day the children had something amazing to show and were very proud of what they had made. It was all so much more original and fun than what you might expect from an art camp...the fact that music and dance had a role to play made it even better. Thanks for giving each of them such a fantastic and unforgettable week."

"I've really enjoyed the week, thank you very much - love Hazel"
