Overview

The Interlochen Junior Piano Program is an intensive and fun way to study piano in the summer. Campers will develop piano skills through private lessons, interactive group activities and master classes that create a sense of camaraderie among the junior piano majors.

Details

Private lessons are given by distinguished faculty members in two half-period sessions each week. On days when students are not in lessons they have practice time with the guidance of teaching assistants.

Piano skills class provides a small group setting for studying technique, keyboard theory, ensemble playing and sight reading.

Junior piano master class meets daily and includes such activities as a repertoire class, a group lesson, a studio class, a performance class or a master class with our faculty and guest artists.

Two electives provide a well-rounded experience.
