Summer Music Clinic

Sunday, June 11th - Saturday, June 17th, 2023

An intensive band and orchestra experience for intermediate to advanced string, wind, and percussion students.

Looking for an immersive musical experience? At the IU Summer Music Clinic, students currently in grades 8–12 will learn, rehearse, and perform a full ensemble program with top-notch conductors. In addition to full orchestra, concert bands, and (auditioned) jazz bands, students have sectionals, a master class with Jacobs School of Music faculty, and a daily chamber ensemble or elective class such as conducting, composition, jazz improvisation, music theory, or leadership.

By living on campus and rehearsing in the Jacobs School of Music, students will sample college life, get to know other musicians, and perform Saturday’s Finale Concert in the Musical Arts Center- open to all.
