Welcome to the 2002 On-line Summer
Study Guide
Notes on Using the Listings
Welcome
Looking for
a summer music experience for yourself, your students, or your kids?
You’ve come to the right place: The guide that seeks to steer
you in the right direction and supply more than adequate fodder for
the perennial essay topic "What I Did on My Summer Vacation."
We’ve got the skinny on 172 summer music programs designed to
instruct, inspire, and invigorate the musician in everyone.
Whether your goal is to learn to
sight-read sonatas at breakneck speed or free yourself from written
music entirely and experience playing by ear, spelunk for historic
relics in museums or hunker down with a knowledgeable craftsman and
build a new instrument of your own, there’s something here for
you.
If you’ve never been to music
camp before, be aware that at times you may need to leave your instrument
case in an area filled with other cases. Imagine how similar 20 fiddle
cases might appear when you’re searching for yours in a crowded
storage room. It’s a good idea to fashion some sort of identifier
that you can spot easily from a distance. A wildly colored scrap of
cloth tied to the handle is one solution.
Enjoy–and don’t forget
to send a postcard!
Using
the Listings
The summer-study programs are listed in three ways:
1. First, by location; within the United States, programs
are divided among major regions (Midwest, South, etc.). Names and
locations are listed here. For more detailed information, see the
alphabetical listings.
2. The next listing organizes the programs by musical
genre or study type. Only the program names are listed here under
each heading (Classical, Jazz, Folk, etc.). For detailed information,
go to the alphabetical listings.
3. The final list presents the programs alphabetically,
and includes locations and dates for 2002, fees, application requirements,
a description of the program and facilities, faculty names, plus contact
information with active hyperlinks to program Web sites, e-mail, and
so forth. The substantial listings are broken into five lists, A–B,
C–G, H–L, M–R, and S–Z. Handy navigation links
are provided on the top and bottom of each page.
Abbreviations include AF for application fee
(sometimes a deposit against tuition fees), R&B for room
and board, and TBA for to be announced. Enrollment size is
indicated in parentheses (100).
