Student Reviews
Below are just a few of the reviews and messages of appreciation that we have received for our courses.
It’s wonderful that many people say the same thing:
- that they have thoroughly enjoyed the week, the food, the hospitality…and of course the time spent not only with the tutors but playing with the other people.
We’ve picked out recent reviews that give you a good flavour of what a Creative Vacances holiday is all about.
Playing guitar or any instrument can for most of the time be quite a solitary activity if, for what ever reason,you are not able to be involved in any kind of group performance.What I most enjoyed about the week was playing with the group. I had forgotten how much fun that can be .
AG (Electric Blues Course 2010)

I have been attending Jazz Workshops for the last 20 years and this was the most fun. Great ambiance, relaxed company and of course plenty of great music. Thanks Mike. (Jazz Workshop)
Thank you for a most enjoyable 'holiday' in Cognac. Great food, company and a lot of laughs.

Nice people, good tutors, music, sunshine, good food - all I need to have a good time.

Thank you Andy for such an instructive week, I have really enjoyed spending the week at La Moreau.
S P (Saxophone Masterclass Course 2011)
Please will you book us in for next year because the week really does 'tick all my boxes'! and a huge WELL DONE' for the fabulous food. I had to buy a punnet of cherries, ate them all and thought of your garden.
F & G (Fiddle and Guitar Course)
Was a bit apprehensive to fly in from Australia for the course - its a long way to come. But the course met all my expectations with great tuition, food and holiday atmosphere.
Kate (Electric Blues Guitar 2010)
I enjoyed it so much and learnt such a lot this year that I would really like to come again next year.
S M (Fiddle and Guitar Course)
Michael and I would like to say a huge thank you for making us feel so very welcome. Your hospitality was second to none and I know I keep saying this but the food was exceptional.
A W (Electric Blues Course 2010)
Flew in from Texas for the course. No regrets - had a fantastic time - great food and company and first class tuition from the guys.
Rod (Electric Guitar Course )
Just a note to say a big Thank You for making our week with you so happy and memorable.
AS (Fiddle and Guitar Course)
I was nervous as I have never been on a Saxophone workshop before but I didn't need to worry. Andy was fantastic, I learnt such a lot and I really enjoyed being and playing with other saxophonists. (Saxophone workshop)
Great hospitality, lovely food, enviable location, very good company and an excellent course. I feel relaxed, refreshed and like I now have a place somewhere in the world of Blues, (gonna practice sitting out on my porch but haven't got a hound dog !! ) .. and how did you manage to fix the weather ??
