<strong>2019</strong> SPECIAL FOCUS<br />
SUMMER MUSIC EDUCATION<br />
It may be cold and windy as you read this,<br />
and you may feel as though <strong>2019</strong> has just barely<br />
started, but don’t suppress that hopeful feeling –<br />
summer is travelling in our direction quickly! With<br />
longer days and liberated timetables come new<br />
opportunities to consider music-making in fresh<br />
new settings. If you’re contemplating summer<br />
music programs for yourself, your children or<br />
your whole family this year, our annual Focus on<br />
Summer Music Education is the place to start, and<br />
now is the time to flex your planning muscles.<br />
Regardless of your level of skill, from amateur to<br />
professional, there are numerous choices for you<br />
to look over. The profiles below, presented by the<br />
programs themselves, illustrate an abundance of<br />
chances for you to sharpen your aptitudes, discover<br />
new ones, and make lifelong associations<br />
and friendships. There are programs designed<br />
for classical musicians and vocalists, with many<br />
opportunities for performance; others offer sessions<br />
in jazz, rock, music theatre, composition and<br />
even philosophy! There are, of course, programs<br />
for children and toddlers as well as programs for<br />
teachers, and everything from residential intensives<br />
in picturesque settings to day programs and<br />
courses nearer to home. Truly, there is something<br />
for everybody. But don’t delay - some of them fill<br />
up quickly!<br />
You may have noticed that there were four programs<br />
profiled in our February issue. For your<br />
interest, and in case you missed them, they are:<br />
• Domaine Forget International Music and<br />
Dance Academy<br />
• Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute<br />
• Tuckamore Festival Young Artist Program<br />
• Vancouver Symphony Orchestral Institute<br />
These were summer programs that had earlier<br />
deadlines. They’re not reprinted here, but you can<br />
find them online, where this directory will be maintained<br />
and updated online on an ongoing basis,<br />
year round – so check back at thewholenote.com/<br />
resources throughout the year for more.<br />
