At this two week large ensemble camp, students receive instruction in individual sessions, small sectionals, and large ensembles. We provide students with the opportunity to work directly with faculty from FSU and nationally recognized conductors and teachers. Each classically based curriculum includes music theory, instructional classes, masterclasses, public performances, and optional private lessons. In addition to instruction on their primary instrument, students will also take an elective class to broaden their musical experience. Elective choices include jazz improvisation, conducting, electronic music, percussion ensemble, steel drums and more!

Upon arrival at camp, students will be placed into one of two concert/symphonic
bands or the wind orchestra.

Optional Private lessons will be offered. Lessons may be organized after the student has been reigstered by using Form J of the registration packet that will be mailed to you. Please review Form J for details on signing up for and paying for priviate lessons.
