SummerMUSIC is a unique, culturally enriching 4-week summer program for children in the heart of Boston. SummerMUSIC offers individual attention, group instruction, and multiple opportunities for developing skills and self-expression.
Young musicians currently in grades 2–8 will enjoy an exciting summertime experience while they study their instrument under the tutelage of the CMCB’s wind, brass, string and percussion faculty. All students engage in both an orchestra and chamber music group over the course of the four week program. Students will also have an opportunity to develop musicianship skills such as rhythm, ear training, and music theory, while also working on life skills like teamwork, creativity, and frustration tolerance.
