The Woodstock Academy
Away. Together. Educating.
This isn't a big festival. It's a huge training week! With amazing instructors and lecturers. With unbelievable quality, range and depth. And all of that with the incomparable feeling of Woodstock brass band music.
The "can do but don't have to do everything" programme
How does the Woodstock Academy work? It's actually quite simple: there's a basic offer with high-quality workshops, lectures, interviews, events and "Mental & Physical" workshops for groups. Then there is the extraordinary additional offer with professional tips in individual lessons, ensemble lessons, band lessons or individual "Mental & Physical" coaching. All, of course, with only the best instructors and lecturers. As if that was not enough, an extensive, completely free, but all the more cosy social programme awaits all participants - in the middle of the picturesque grassy mountains of the Kitzbühel Alps.
Here's what you can expect, among other things:
