Guided Practice
Practicing is difficult for any musician; it requires awareness, patience, concentration, and skills that take time and expertise to build. The importance of daily and focused practice cannot be underestimated. With plenty of time to practice and hone their repertoire, students will see their virtuosity and prowess improve exponentially. Fried Music supports the students in their practicing with staff and faculty who will give suggestions, check in on the students frequently, and answer any questions they may have.
Classes
The Summer Intensive Program is designed, not only to fast forward the student’s progress through good practice, but also to expose the young musician to a well-rounded musical education. This year, we will be offering technique classes and workshops, led by our artist faculty and/or guest artists.
Performances
Performance practice is an integral part of developing confidence as, not only a musician, but also as a person. Our intensive program will include performance classes, run by a member of our faculty. Community engagement concerts are also scheduled, for which students will receive volunteer hours. Even if the student does not feel ready at the beginning of a session, students will be prepared by the end of the session. It is recommended that students have a piece they have been working on previously to perform for this concert.
