Why Attend the Summer Music Clinic? Join other junior or high school music students for a week of creative skill-building and performance in band, orchestra, choir, musical theater and jazz ensemble. Concert groups rehearse throughout the week and your family and friends are invited to the final concerts. Classes are designed to help you polish your ensemble and individual performance skills with a variety of music-related topics and techniques. After class recreation and evening concerts round out an exciting and dynamic camp experience. Recreation choices for residential campers are upbeat, creative activities led by enthusiastic teams of counselors. You can choose from the standard offerings of sports and arts and crafts to aerobics, board games, jam sessions or the hot weather field day that includes nontraditional games such as a water-balloon competition. Highly Qualified Staff You will learn from teachers who are chosen for their talent and excellence as music educators. The staff includes specialists for every instrument and voice so that you gain knowledge on topics such as basic performance technique, tone production and warm-ups. Non-performance classes offer a variety of choices, including Careers in Music, Introduction to Jazz Styles, and Music Theory. Residence Hall Living and Supervision All students are required to live in UW-Madison campus residence halls throughout the week. The rooms are air-conditioned and have small refrigerators. College-age counselors supervise the Summer Music Clinic participants in the residence halls and help design the daily recreation that includes athletics, crafts and social activities. Evening concerts are a mix of guest performing artists, student and faculty recitals. Health staff members stay in the dorms, with additional medical attention provided through the University Health services clinic as necessary. Campers are encouraged to have their own health insurance where possible, as UW-Madison is only able to provide limited accident insurance. Students are paired by grade for dorm assignments. Campers develop new friends as a natural extension of the Music Clinic residence and learning experience. Caring counselors and daily floor meetings make this an easier process. If a camper has a request for a specific roommate, please include this on this application. Both roommates must make this request and both requests must be received by the application deadline to honor your preference. Commuter Option for Junior Session Music Clinic rehearsals and classes begin at 8 AM and finish by 4:30 pm. The commmuter fee includes tuition, lunch, and a camp T-shirt.
