Overview

The percussion institute provides opportunities for highly motivated students to work with a world class faculty in many different percussion disciplines.

Program Details

 

Participants will perform in master classes, have individualized learning opportunities with an Institute Faculty Member and play in a variety of ensembles.

Music institutes admit students up to age 22. All other institutes are limited to current high school students.

Students will live in a cabin with 10 to 18 other artists. The cabins are rustic but comfortable. Counselors supervise each cabin and are usually current college students who are studying the arts and sometimes former campers. (Note: college-aged students will be housed in cabins separate from high school participants.)

Because the Institutes occur before the regular camp season, participants do not wear uniforms and do not have opportunities for structured recreational activities.

 

Audition Requirements

  • Applicants should submit a letter of recommendation from private teacher or band director that outlines the student’s motivation, skill level, and note reading proficiency.
