Music at Mannes: Grades 4-8

Music at Mannes provides young pianists and orchestral students the opportunity to enhance their skills and expand their musical interests. Each morning, students will begin their day with conducting class. In our instrumental ensembles, participants will hone their ensemble skills through daily rehearsals and performance labs. Afternoon classes encourage vocal development and continued musical learning through chorus, dance, and supervised practice. This immersive two-week experience culminates with concluding performances in the recital halls of the Mannes College of Music.
