Summer Music Clinic—Chamber Session
Application Form—Summer Music Clinic 2015 Chamber Session
Advanced string,
woodwind, brass,
percussion, and
keyboard players are
invited to attend this
intensive week of
chamber music
study. During the
2015 Summer Music
Clinic, students hone
their skills in chamber music performance through coached
sessions, interest-based class options, and faculty performances.
Student ensembles perform a final concert for family and friends.
Chamber music requires a high level of communication and
commitment from each ensemble member for a positive artistic
result. We encourage students to apply who have significant
performance experience and are excited about the unique opportunity of working with other talented musicians in a concentrated
week of study.
COMPLETE BOTH SIDES of this application and mail with application payment of $595 by April 1, 2015.
Staff
Our teachers are experienced and knowledgeable chamber
musicians who mentor ensembles through the creative process
of rehearsal and performance.
Schedule
A typical day includes a coached chamber music session, individual
practice time, choir for instrumentalists, and a class schedule
chosen from the following options: Renaissance and Baroque
History; The Sixties; String Fundamentals for Chamber
Performance; Keyboard Topics; The Creative Musician; Composition;
Percussion Ensemble; and Acting. The evening activities include
faculty and student recitals, as well as yoga for performers.
Individual coaching sessions cover topics such as intonation,
note lengths, phrasing, visual contact, and musical interpretation.
How to Apply
The enrollment for the advanced chamber program is limited
by ensemble grouping and levels. The application procedure
requires participants to provide a current solo, chamber, and
large ensemble literature list and performance background, as
well as email contact information for a music teacher familiar with
the student’s abilities and accomplishments. This allows Summer
Music Clinic staff to contact a mentor familiar with the student’s
performance background and ensure they are assigned appropriate
level ensemble literature. Music for the program will be sent out
prior to the chamber session to allow for practicing.
