About
The Music
Today the Johnman’s home, Camido, functions as the Johnman Music Centre. Filled with the collected furniture, artworks, and books of the Johnmans, its high-ceilinged rooms provide an inspiring setting in which a variety of musical instruments are taught to all ages. Currently 11 teachers work both individually to grow their own practical studio classes in different instruments as well as combining pupils into ensembles for concerts.
Camido’ is a picturesque Victorian villa with an atmosphere of being loved and lived in, almost as if Dorothy and Charles had just stepped out on an errand and would be home any minute. Both were passionate about sharing knowledge. Charles as a lecturer in English often tutored students informally at home, individually or in groups; Dorothy taught Eurythmics to generations at Rhenish School and gave cello lessons at home. Their home was the meeting point for notable visiting musicians and venue for ensembles and music-making.
