Music at Le Rhun

Tom and Rebecca Bruton, both graduates of Trinity College of Music in London, had busy careers teaching and performing saxophone, clarinet, flute and piano before moving to Le Rhun.

As professional musicians Tom and Rebecca are well equipped to support you in developing your skills on your instrument.  They are both excited by the opportunities at Le Rhun for people to get together in a stimulating environment to share their musical talents.  

Le Rhun offers a tranquil setting away from the everyday stresses and constraints which may inhibit your ability to focus solely on your playing. The old Breton farmhouse and gites offer lots of privacy for individual practice and convivial spaces for group practice, as well as a comfortable environment in which to relax and enjoy the luxury of completely immersing yourself in music with like-minded people. 

Locally, the village of Argol has a thriving artistic community of musicians, sculptors and artists who are very enthusiastic about sharing in Le Rhun’s musical events. Currently on offer are "I wish I could play", "September Suite" and "Made to measure music". You can read about previous courses on our news page.
