Hoff-Barthelson Music School is the ideal setting for a stimulating, challenging, and fun-filled summer arts program for students entering grades 1-10 in the Fall. Students at all levels try new instruments, gain proficiency on instruments they already play, experiment musically, take daily group lessons, and perform each week. For young children, the Summer Arts Program is a superb way to try out instrumental and vocal music-making—possibly for the first time—and discover their particular passions. Older students get a jump start on the school year as they gain confidence playing band or orchestral instruments. All students benefit from opportunities to play together in large and small ensembles, explore new instruments, and discover new musical styles while forming lasting friendships.

Students choose programs tailored to their individual needs and interests. Classes, workshops, and performance opportunities include singing, eurhythmics (learning music through movement), instrumental classes, chamber music, chorus, large ensembles, musicianship classes, visual arts, drama workshops, jazz, and popular music. An exciting Music Technology Workshop class for grades 4–10 gives students a chance to try their hands at using state-of-the-art software and hardware technology in support of their own creative projects.
