The program is designed to prepare students for college and conservatory entrance auditions. Curriculum includes technique, solo repertoire, chamber music, concerto repertoire, music theory, transposition, and ear training. Guest masterclass artists and evaluation judges from the top conservatories are invited to coach and evaluate our students each year.
