Musical Chairs Summer School

MCSS is a community music course held over 4 days at St. Marks Church, West Parley, Ferndown. This year is its 15th year and it encompasses all instruments, ages and abilities from grade 3 upwards. We have professional, well established tutors and conductor. We encourage an informal but structured atmosphere with a very sociable approach. Applicants may order catering daily with home-grown produce and homemade fare.
