ESTA Summer School

The 2026 Summer School offers the perfect opportunity to recharge your batteries, challenge your thinking, refine your practice and connect with wonderful colleagues – all within the beautiful grounds of our host school, complete with tennis courts, swimming pool, gym and excellent en-suite accommodation.

Professional development lies at the heart of the European String Teachers Association, and each year the Summer School brings together an all-star faculty of internationally respected pedagogues, performers and practitioners. Our presenters share a wealth of experience, new ideas and deep pedagogical insight into teaching and playing string instruments.

The 2026 programme promises a rich and stimulating mix of workshops, keynote lectures, demonstrations, practical sessions and concerts, designed to support teachers at every stage of their professional journey. Participants typically range from early-career teachers to established educators, creating a supportive learning community where ideas and experiences can be shared freely.
