One Week Instrumental Institutes (June 19 - June 25)
The Interlochen Instrumental Institutes provide an opportunity for musicians to focus on developing proficiency on their instruments. Students learn from exceptional faculty and from peers in master class settings. Institutes are typically one week in length and occur before the main camp session.
Because Institutes occur before the regular Interlochen Arts Camp season, participants do not wear uniforms and do not have elective choices.
