Information Founded in 1972 by Director Emeritus Roy Schaberg, the program has enjoyed 28 highly successful seasons. All students will attend master classes taught by the faculty and perform in a large group ensemble as well. Voice students and pianists receive coaching and instruction in theory and aural skills during the morning. String performers meet without winds for chamber ensembles and group lessons until 11 a.m. when select wind instruments join the full symphony orchestra. In the early afternoon, everyone sings in the camp choir.
Instrumentalists have the option of studying theory in the afternoon.
Planned recreation activities are available in the afternoon, and evening concerts include performances by student groups, the Crane School of Music faculty and visiting artist-performers, and other professional ensembles. Over 300 students attended Crane Youth Music last year. I met so many people, the teachers were great, and overall I loved it. I highly recommended it to my friends.
