We are sure that everyone will have been watching the Coronavirus developments with growing concern. Although the UK is still currently in a “containment” phase, the advice is that an escalation seems unavoidable over the coming weeks.
We have been monitoring the situation very closely, to assess the possible impact on the planned BKA Spring Course at Monmouth in April. Amidst the continuing uncertainties across a whole range of issues it has been very hard, but necessary, for the Trustees to reach a decision now and not hold off any longer.
It is with great sadness that we have decided to cancel the course.
Following this announcement, there will be specific communication to everyone in the respective groups booked to attend at Monmouth, including those signed-up for the general Spring Course, those following the Kodály Certificate Course, and Foundation Course students. The Treasurer will be in touch with everyone about refunding relevant fees paid to the BKA.”

Our next Spring Course will be residential, held for the first time at Haberdashers’ Monmouth School for Girls from Wednesday, April 15th to Saturday, April 18th 2020. The school have experience of hosting music events and courses and have recently opened a new Performing Arts Centre with excellent facilities.
