About the Institute
|
UGA's Summer Music Institute boasts a performance-intensive curriculum serving advanced students who are seriously considering music as a major area of study in college. All Summer Music Institute participants will perform in a chamber ensemble coached by Institute faculty. Students will also enjoy numerous lectures and laboratory exercises which are designed for the advanced musician. Concentrations include chorus, band, orchestra, and piano.
Several criteria are at play in the selection of the most serious musicians for the Summer Music Institute. Rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors will be considered for the experience. Musicians who have been selected as members of All-State Band, Orchestra, Choir, or Jazz Band; Governor’s Schools; regional youth orchestras; and Wind ensembles will receive strong consideration for acceptance into the Summer Music Institute. Auditions
Students will be considered based upon faculty evaluation of a recorded audition. The recording should include a lyrical and a technical selection of the applicant's choice. Percussionists should plan on submitting a recording that features selections on mallets, snare, and timpani. Recordings may be audio-only or video, and may be emailed to smcamp@uga.edu (attached files for audio (please include the camper's name in the file name), or YouTube links for video).
Additionally, a recommendation letter from either the student's school music director or their private teacher must be submitted by the application deadline. Letters may be emailed to smcamp@uga.edu (please attach as a PDF file with recommender's signature) or sent via postal mail. Tuition & Fees
