Oxenfoord International Summer School
2-8 August 2026
A residential one-week summer school for singers and pianists in St Andrews, Scotland.
What is Oxenfoord?
Join us for a week of music-making: one-to-one lessons, masterclasses, lectures, plus unforgettable concerts, cabaret, opera scenes, choir and a ceilidh, all enjoyed together with accommodation and meals provided.
Our staff of vocal teachers, language coaches, pianists, directors, and conductors, led by Artistic Director Malcolm Martineau, is truly world class.
Each student receives a personal timetable customised to their needs and preferences, and throughout the week you are able to attend any other class you wish as an observer. For many it is a truly life-changing week.
Whether you are a professional singer hoping to work with some of the music industry’s leading lights, a student wanting to reach the next level, or have chosen a completely different career path but you are passionate about singing and would love to spend a week with like-minded people exploring the many riches of the song and opera world, Oxenfoord is the place for you!
