Roger Coull's coaching days July 2009

Thanks Martine and Calum for an amazing week in your fabulous “petit château”. The luxurious surroundings, combined by playing music for 5 days was my idea of heaven. We were very spoilt to have such expert coaching from Roger Coull, we learned such a lot about ensemble playing.

An unforgettable four and a half days – luxurious comfort, such a friendly atmosphere, and thanks to Roger Coull’s coaching – an impressive level of musical achievement (although we say so ourselves!) Six English and ten Australians, what a glorious mixture.

Dear Martine and Calum, 

This has been the most wonderful week – exquisite in all senses – your warm and friendly hospitality, fantastic food, very beautiful home, garden and swimming pool. We loved dining in your garden on your home grown vegetables, with such great company. Best of all was the music making, and we learned so much from Roger Coull. We look forward to returning to this special piece of paradise, in the future. Thanks and best wishes for the success of this new music-making venture.

What an inspiring setting! We have had such a wonderful music-making indulgence. With the guidance of Roger Coull, our playing improved – there is hope for us yet! Thank you.

What a fantastic few days! The setting is gorgeous, the company (English and Aussie) delightful and the music  a great pleasure, thanks to the spending coaching of Roger Coull.

Breathtaking house, lovely gardens, and an overall setting I thought I could only find in the movies.  I loved the comfort and food, and hope more people could experience it.  I wish I could live here. Thank you for our stay.

A perfect place to play chamber music. We’ve had a lovely time thanks to Martine and Calum who made us so welcome. Also we had three days of inspired coaching from Roger Coull.

I had a wonderful stay here, the family was really welcoming and I loved playing with the children. It was great fun every night playing music and the rooms and breakfasts were amazing.  I would come back any time as I had a great week here. Thank you all so much.
