At Oxenfoord International you can personalise your experience, taking extra classes and undertaking a variety of workshops and drop-in sessions throughout the week. On this page find out more about what you might expect to see outside classes on a typical day.
Following a vocal warm-up with one of our vocal technique tutors, teaching begins from 9.30am and your one-class-per-day of attendance will be timetabled at any point throughout the teaching day which finishes at 6pm. A morning and an afternoon break are scheduled with refreshments provided. There are many opportunities to tailor the course to suit your own requirements and you’ll usually be involved in one or more of your chosen classes every day.
This year we will continue the popular Masterclass Lunchtime Series. All staff and students are encouraged to observe before afternoon teaching begins.
The Oxenfoord Choir will rehearse every day between 5pm-6pm in preparation for the Chapel Concert; all singers are encouraged to attend.
Evenings feature concerts at the Laidlaw Music Centre, with a bar available in the foyer before and after each performance—offering a perfect opportunity to unwind and connect with fellow participants.
As you can see below, each day is filled with opportunities to explore, learn, and make the most of your time at Oxenfoord.
