Our goal is to provide a concentrated six days of instruction by top professional musicians who seek to share their knowledge & love of music with beginner, intermediate and advanced-level students.
Emphasis will be given to proper technique which will reinforce and enhance your student’s musical experience as they learn how to play in ensembles and then in the larger orchestral setting. They can bring this into any musical environment throughout the school year.
Finally, your students will experience the sense of community as they build relationships with their fellow musicians while taking ownership of this program.
