Isn't that School Of The Arts? Think they have a few branches in Bracknell and Windsor (perhaps more now). Don't know much more than that really but haven't heard anything bad about them. Have a look at the website. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Sounds like another good course. Has anyone been on any of the workshops posted on this site?? It would be interesting to hear what people thought of the courses and which ones were the best so we could look out for them next year
