You may choose 1 class point for each day you’re attending the course. With up to seven class points included in the whole course
fee, time is given for preparation, reflection and observation of other classes. There will also be the opportunity to take part in evening
showcase concerts, the Oxenfoord Choir and a series of group warm-ups and workshops throughout the week.
According to tutor availability, extra classes may be requested at an additional £35 per class (£25 for students). To reserve these classes
in advance, please mark them with an ‘E’ below or you can request extra classes once the course has started.
Applications for advanced classes (marked (#)) must be supported by a recording and/or teacher’s reference if not known to the
organisers. Advanced class applications should be received no later than Friday 24th April so that parts can be allocated in time to be
studied and memorised. Applicants must also provide details of alternative classes (up to the relevant class points) should they be
unsuccessful in their advanced class application (please number alternative classes in order of preference in the right-hand tick column
below). Advanced classes are allocated according to the variety and strength of applicants each year and previous involvement is no
guarantee of being shortlisted.
Masterclass students will work individually with John Mark Ainsley for 30 minutes on any repertoire of their choice. A handful of applicants
will also be chosen to take part in the Public Masterclass on Sunday 26th July.
Malcolm Martineau's Song Cycle Class is worth two class points and is only available to full-week course applicants. Successful
applicants may not select additional classes with Malcolm as part of their weekly allocation, but may apply for extra classes subject to
availability.
Students choosing Opera Scenes (worth four class points) must attend the whole course to ensure attendance at all rehearsals.
Please see the website for tutor biographies, class descriptions and further information about the course.
