Honors Piano Camp
June 8-20, 2008

Audition required

Private, Individualized instruction from FSU faculty members is the cornerstone of our Honors Piano Camp. Additional instruction in four-hand piano, music theory and classical piano literature make this two week camp an intensive experience for developing piano students.

Our Honors Camps combine the best aspects of our individual workshops and our large ensemble camps to create a premier educational experience. Each camp is designed to provide select music students with the kind of challenging, inspiring and motivating instructions that can only be found at FSU.
