Bluescamp Masterclass
Spend ten days in south west France sitting by the pool learning how to play music at a high level whilst preparing to play in public at a prestigious venue.
Learn the tricks of the trade using deep psychological techniques to explore aspects of music, creativity and success strategies
With 15 years of experience of running BluescampUK and with over 70 years of teaching and playing experience between Vic Hyland and Chris Penfold they will be showing you all that they know. From the psychological techniques of NLP through to music theory, music practice, performance techniques, voice projection, keyboard skills and harmony.
We will dispel the myths surrounding music and what it takes to succeed as well as establishing what the word 'success' really means. We can honestly say the same principles apply the world over.
This is an experience designed to enliven and restore your artistic self-belief in a beautiful setting. The program combines Yoga, Mindfulness and Meditation to take you on an incredible journey of wellbeing and discovery. The music programme is designed to take you from whatever level you are on and deepen and broaden your musical and creative abilities. There is a more efficient, relaxing way to discover the musical ‘you’ and for many it is a surprise to realise your true potential creatively and build confidence in public. We are pleased to be one of few retreat companies offering this practice in Europe.
Any retreat needs to allow you to form a new perspective without distraction and our venue in south west France is ideally located for that purpose.
