Directed by Drew Cantrill-Fenwick, the RCO's famous Summer Course is an unmissable week for many organists whether beginner, early stage, intermediate or advanced; whether or not preparing for grade or diploma examinations or auditions; and whether a church organist or leisure player. We welcome all ages though under 18s must be accompanied by an adult at all times. For full details and online booking please visit the special website https://conference.rco.org.uk/.

Comments from students on the 2022 course
The course content, teaching and camaraderie were fantastic as usual...The tutors were of course, knowledgeable, professional and, most of all, encouraging and informative.

The whole course was very well planned...[and] the atmosphere amongst teachers and students was very friendly and helpful and all the teaching inspiring.

This was a magnificent course with excellent new directions including tutor groups and masterclasses.

As a beginner organist, this was a fabulous introduction with excellent teaching.
