Bring out Your Inner Artist

The Young Artist Program is intended to serve as a vehicle to get students ready for more advanced instruction. It is recommended for students are age 12-18 studying in the advanced repertoire of the Suzuki Method or beyond. Students younger than 12 need to have an adult with them on campus.

We recommend violin students be performing music at the Violin Suzuki book 6 level or above, Viola/Cello Suzuki book 5 level and above, Bass Book 4 above.

Students will be in chamber music groups as well as studying orchestral literature. Students should be fluent readers at the level of early Haydn String Quartets.

The dates for 2026 are Sunday, July 19 –  Saturday, July 25 (6 class hours over 7 days)
