"I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Malvern College during the Beauchamp Early Music Course. It was amazing to play large-scale renaissance repertoire and sing alongside well-established musicians, learning about the composers, the performance practices of the day, and the music itself."

"The smooth running of the week depended hugely on the efficiency and good humour of the team. Many thanks for giving us early music enthusiasts a chance to play and sing so much wonderful music that is not in the everyday
repertoire."

"I am so grateful for this experience as it was unlike anything I'd done before. With such a dedicated team of tutors we were able to go into depth about things like original manuscripts, ornamentation, and technique, that can be difficult to fit into a shorter programme."

"I was in DavidA’s a capella choir. In addition to the gorgeous music he introduced us to, I was particularly grateful for his rehearsal pointers and for the spotify playlist. A very special and inspiring pointer was to encourage us to consider how the composer had expressed the text, and thereby help both the singer and listener feel deeply the meaning and purpose behind the notes. David’s emphasis on careful warm-ups was another plus, as they helped to successfully sustain my voice throughout the week."
