Students concentrate on private lessons with additional studies available in theory, chamber music and computer music applications. Students perform regularly at scheduled concerts and events at the school and in the community.
The program assists students in preparing for admission to a specialized high school music program or college music program.
Successful candidates are accepted into the program on a full scholarship basis.
