Oxford Flute Summer School 2027

Oxford Flute Summer School 2027 brings together flautists for a busy, supportive week of playing, learning and musical discovery. Active participation is central to the course, with options for advanced players and those returning to the instrument.

Everyone takes part in ensembles, flute choirs, warm-ups and technique sessions. Depending on the option chosen, participants can also perform in or listen to masterclasses, receive one-to-one tuition with flute teachers and pianists, and explore repertoire in smaller groups. Concerts and masterclasses offer further opportunities to listen, discover new music and gain fresh ideas.

Teaching focuses on building confidence and helping each player develop their own musical voice. The course welcomes people whose working lives leave limited time for music during the year, as well as those pursuing more intensive study. Everyone’s contribution is valued.

The summer school is based at St Edward’s School in north Oxford, set in 100 acres of grounds. Facilities include the Ogston Music School, with residential accommodation in the school’s boarding houses.

With a long tradition of bringing together leading flute teachers and enthusiastic players, Oxford Flute Summer School aims to send participants home with renewed energy, practical ideas and inspiration for the year ahead.
