Summer Camps
Our summer camps provide fun and unique learning opportunities for students to develop their skills in small performing groups. Each camp emphasizes skill building, small ensemble rehearsal and performance. Camps are a great opportunity to meet students of similar level and interest.

Individual Lessons

With the aid of a comprehensive interview process, each student is placed with one of MacPhail’s expert faculty members who tailor lessons to best fit each student’s needs and desires. The school offers a wide variety of instruments and musical styles from classical to jazz to pop, folk and rock.

Suzuki Talent Education
