Welcome to the website of the WMA Summer School of Music, now in its 68th year. After being at Wortley Hall near Sheffield for the last few years, the 2014 school will be at Castle Head Field Study Centre, in the beautiful Lake District, from 25th-30th August. Unfortunately we couldn't get a full week, but we intend to have a highly intensive five day school!

Castle Head Field Studies Centre

Castle Head isn't quite as luxurious as Wortley (though it's perfectly lovely, and the scenery is wonderful) - but then it isn't as expensive either, so it's a chance to bring the Summer School experience within more people's financial reach, especially as times are tight if you're not a stockbroker or a merchant banker.

The WMA is a part of the Labour Movement, and has been since its inception. As such we believe in the power of music to effect personal change and to support movements for social change.

If that sounds like you, we're always delighted to meet new people. There's more information about the school itself under 'tutors' and 'courses' - if there's anything you need to know, email WMASS[at]whi-music.co.uk (replace the [at] with @, obv). The WMA Summer School is run on a voluntary basis by activists, so we keep costs as low as possible.


Prices for the School are:
Single Room:  £430
Shared Room £360
Camping £230
Caravan £230
Day Student £190

We are really pleased that Jane Scott has agreed to lead a number of sessions which will include a wide variety of songs. There will also be ample opportunities for insturmental sessions and for composers to present their work, and the Saturday night session.

The cost will be £90 per person, which covers all meals.
