“Before attending the Fried Music Summer Intensive, the longest I had ever practiced piano in a single sitting was just over an hour. However, everything changed the summer after ninth grade when I enrolled in the program. Suddenly, I found myself practicing for more than four hours a day - and enjoying it. I looked forward to the intensive, not only to better my skills, but to connect with new friends and explore fun lunch spots together. By the end of the program, I noticed a significant improvement in my practice habits. I became more efficient and productive in my sessions, and my musical abilities grew. I couldn’t recommend attending the Fried Music Summer Intensive enough!”

“Fried Music summer intensive program was a truly transformative experience for me. It offered the perfect blend of rigorous musical training and fun summer activities.

The program significantly accelerated my progress—at least twofold—and gave me a much clearer path forward in my piano journey. It was demanding, but the rewards were undeniable. Beyond the technical growth, the diverse classes, like the acting workshop with Mr. Eric, gave me a fresh perspective on music and creativity.

Having attended the program twice and spending a total of seven weeks there last summer, I can confidently say it was one of the most impactful experiences of my musical development. It not only helped me grow as a musician but also created lasting memories with fellow students, making it both incredibly rewarding and genuinely fun.”
