One of the great things about music is there will ALWAYS be more. Students at all levels benefit from private lessons, and honor groups are a great way to connect with high achieving musical students from other schools and perform in bigger and better venues, under esteemed conductors from around the nation and world. Summer enrichment camps are also a great opportunity to hone your skills and meet kids like you from around the region.
