My entire class at Kinhaven graduated last summer, so there are openings for 3 or 4 trombones and a tuba student! Kinhaven offers a great balance of big orchestral repertoire and chamber music, along with a tremendously welcoming and supportive community, a beautiful location, and lifelong friendships. Please feel free to ask me any questions!

I teach at the session for high school students: https://kinhaven.org/senior-session/ but please check out Kinhaven's other sessions, including the Young Artists Seminar for college-age and young professionals, and the Junior Session for middle school students.

----------------------------------------------------

Senior Session applications are officially open! During the six-week Senior Session, 90 young musicians gather on Kinhaven’s beautiful campus in Weston, Vermont, to play chamber music, chamber orchestra, symphony orchestra, and large ensembles. In addition, there are private music lessons, large and small chorales, and spontaneous music-making. A robust arts and activities program includes options to engage in pottery and art, folk dancing, a swimming pond, hiking and other field trips, and walks to the town center. With its rich programs, cherished traditions, and glorious food, students form lifelong friendships at Kinhaven, and many return year after year.
The program is led by Anthony Mazzocchi and Deborah Buck and complemented by a faculty of world-class professional musicians who specialize in working with talented, dedicated high school-aged students. Faculty reside on campus, and everyone comes together at mealtimes to share delicious farm-to-table food prepared on the premises. This summer will also welcome Billy Hughes as Director!

We would like applicants to play five-to-ten minutes of music that is representative of your playing. Prepare selections that you can play with confidence, avoiding ones that are too challenging or too new to demonstrate your abilities. Selections may be from a single work or multiple pieces/etudes.
