For young musicians who want to learn, lead, and level-up.
We are excited to invite students to register for a new summer session experience. Designed for PROJECT MUSIC students who don’t want to lose momentum over the summer. The Summer Studio Session is a once-a-week creative intensive where students can receive instruction in small-group studio settings.
Participants will break into focused sectionals by instrument (flute, clarinet, oboe, saxophone, trumpet, low brass, and percussion) for targeted skill development, ensemble precision, and repertoire refinement.
(String Students - be sure to check out our partner programs with INTEMPO and Harmony at Juilliard!)
Regular studio sessions will meet Tuesdays (June 23-July 21) from 4:30 - 6:00pm at UCONN’s downtown Stamford campus.
Three additional summer daytrips (June 20, July 11, and July 25) are built into the program experience. These outings combine recreation, relationship-building, and performance opportunities. Details to come! We have some exciting excursions in the works.
Who should register? PROJECT MUSIC students who have been in program for at least 1 year - brass, winds, percussion in either Beginning or Concert Band.
Why should you register? Continue making music over the summer and show initiative! When you work to learn and level-up you open the door to future leadership and performance opportunities. Also - daytrips!
How much does it cost? $50. The remainder of participation costs are covered through scholarships.
Please Note:
Transportation to and from weekly studio classes is not covered.
Students must be available for AT LEAST 4 of the 5 weekly classes to participate in the daytrips.

A collaboration between INTEMPO and PROJECT MUSIC, this six-week program is designed for students to focus on either musical theater or string performance.

Families may register for as many weeks as they choose, making it easy to fit summer schedules. To participate in the strings cohort, previous experience in violin, viola, or cello is required.
