The SSSV Experience

At Summer School for the Solo Voice, we work hard, learn lots and have a great deal of fun! The days are very full, and delicious nutritious food and a good night’s sleep are important. Scroll down to see the Lunch Menu and Accommodation options available to SSSV participants.

What people are saying about us

“I came to SSSV the first year just to hang around with my brother and to hear him sing. He talked me into enrolling, I liked to sing but I had never had any vocal training prior to arriving, I was very apprehensive as I was 56yrs old and most of the students were 30–40 years younger!”

“The first year was a life changing experience of discovery for me and I will be grateful forever. 2014 was my third year attending and again the experience was unforgettable. I will come as long as I still have a voice. I can't recommend this experience enough, send your kids, come yourself and…‘Sing…Just ’cuz’”

“The instructors and atmosphere are amazing, the instructors are all professional performers, many of them with international experience and all of them show a genuine love for music and concern for all of the students, including me! There is no pressure, no negative criticism only the opportunity to sing and to improve your skills (or discover them) with their amazing guidance. Lisa Hornung once said to me ‘I have never heard a voice that couldn't be trained to sing’ I believe her.”
