SUMMER MUSIC INSTITUTE
A Typical Day at SMI
An Institute student's day begins early! One of the goals of SMI is to give students a taste of what Conservatory life is like - so classes, lessons, practice time, ensembles, seminars, masterclasses, and concerts are all part of a student's day. In addition to the schedule below, all Institute students receive four 45-minute private lessons during the two-week period.
