Students at the workshop will be mainly taught in groups, divided according to each child’s level. The
Suzuki repertoire will be the basis for the repertoire and is played by heart. The workshop invites children of
all ages and levels to participate. The workshop will be arranged similar to previous years’ arrangement:
Playing in groups, orchestra and concerts, plus master classes and chamber music for the advanced students.
Music theory will also be taught. The repertoire list will be sent to the participants well in advance of the
course. It is also possible to book individual lessons for an additional fee.
Leisure activities will include social gatherings in the evenings, barbecue, football, swimming in the indoor
pool and much more. Geilo is surrounded by breathtaking nature and mountains, lakes and rivers. There will
be some leisure time during the day to allow families to participate in activities such as cycling, horseback
riding, rafting, fishing and more. We hope that families can combine this summer workshop with holiday
activities offered by the hotel and the village of Geilo, and bring home memories of musical challenges,
Norway’s peaceful environment, and bonds with new friends.
