August 2026
Hendrix Summer School
Aimed at talented young guitarists and singers aged 12-18, our week-long summer school is for anyone passionate about playing the guitar, developing their creative songwriting skills, and up for making new friends with a range of musical interests and backgrounds!
The first two days (for guitarists only) focus on developing playing style and technique, and the second two days are all about writing and performing, led by incredible guitarist Nigel Jones and songwriter Abimaro Gunnell. Each day will close with a jam session, open to family and friends. Participants can attend either the whole summer school or just the last 3 days. The final day of the week is for recording and performance, open to any young person that has attended the Summer School.
Other dates in July available.
