Residential Music Retreats
Studio Alouette presents a series of exciting group residential retreats. Our team of tutors, all with a wealth of experience and enthusiasm, lead the 5 day retreats. We offer a range of music retreats including guitar, song writing and singing. In addition, we also present photography, astronomy, writing and reading through our sister organisation Rural Retreat France, here at our base.
Gather your musician friends, band members or family and plan some dates that suit you all, (please note – we only take bookings for 4 or more people for retreats. We are unable to take individual reservations). Decide what you would like to focus on, content you want to cover and the outcomes you hope for and let us know. We will coordinate the tutors, draft a programme for approval and advise on travel arrangements.
Our music retreats provide you with space, time and high quality expert tuition for your group. We pride ourselves on our supportive and welcoming atmosphere. We take care of everything, so you are free to immerse yourself in learning, away from distractions of daily life.
Each retreat is just €550 per person for 5 nights for 4 to 8 adults
Includes B&B, lunch & dinner, endless tea & coffee & all tuition & resources.
Please note! Flights, transfers & travel are not included.
Gather your favourite musical friends and family, get some dates that everyone can do and let us know what you would like to focus on.
All retreats are limited to 8 people, meaning there will be plenty of one to one opportunities with the tutors. We have designed a varied programme with taught sessions, practice time, collaborative working, jam sessions, recording sessions and maybe performance at the end of the week!
In addition to the excellent teaching from our experienced tutors, you will benefit from the fully equipped recording studio, opportunity to work with other musicians and time to focus on your music in a setting guaranteed to inspire you.
Hospitality
Our retreats are all full-board accommodation in our impressive Dortoir, with everything you need for your stay. To make it as easy as possible, we provide bedding, towels, toiletries and even dressing gowns. All you need are a change of clothes and personal items.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are freshly prepared and when possible, you can eat in one of the dining areas in our beautiful gardens.
The carefully designed timetable, plenty of space and quiet hideaways allow for private practice and personal time throughout the week.
