Welcome
Welcome to the 2020 edition of String Courses. Formerly known as Summerplus, The Strad’s annual guide to international short courses, masterclasses and workshops is as comprehensive and indispensable as ever. Whether you’re looking for double bass tuition in Texas, folk fiddling events in Ireland or bow making in France, you’ll find something for every instrument, interest, age, ability and budget here.
From one-to-one lessons with some of the world’s greatest teachers to unique opportunities to try entirely new styles of playing and making, you’re sure to find a suitable course in these pages to give you a fresh perspective.
And if the vast number of courses on offer sets your mind reeling, we have a useful list of suggestions by theme, starting on page 4.
So if you’re looking for a particular location or for a course to boost your teaching skills, we’ve done the hard work for you.
