Hello Music Studio families,
As we develop our program to help our student musicians grow, we put a strong emphasis on working with professionals from the community as well as those from academia. To do this end, we have developed strong partnerships with both professional arts organizations as well as conservatories and universities. It has been invaluable to see the work that the US Marine Band did with our bands, SMU and Chad Hoopes did with our orchestras, and New York City Opera artists and alumna/Opera star, Laquita Mitchell work with the vocal studio among so many others.
A running list of our partnerships and details about their work with our students can be found on this document: Music Studio Partnership Events and Masterclasses 2022-2023
I am thrilled to announce a new partnership between LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts and Interlochen Center for the Arts, culminating in an opportunity for our students to be awarded scholarships to attend Interlochen Arts Camp this summer.
Known as the destination for the world’s finest artists, educators, and conductors, Interlochen Arts Camp is a vibrant, creative community that unites passionate artists from around the world. With programs in music, visual arts, theatre, creative writing, dance, film & new media, and interdisciplinary arts, students spend their days practicing their arts and stretching their creativity surrounded by exceptional instructors and talented friends.
As a partner of Interlochen, our students are eligible for a limited number of full tuition scholarships to attend camp in summer 2023. In order to be considered for this scholarship opportunity, you must complete an APPLICATION by January 15, 2023. Use the code LaGuardia23 to waive the application fee. If you have any questions about this opportunity or the application process, please contact admission@interlochen.org.
As you begin planning for the summer, please also know that we plan to continue our LaGuardia Summer Arts program, our program with Mostly Mozart for instrumental music, and a new program - Blues Camp International. I will share more information about these programs this winter.
Remember - if you ever have any questions, please feel free to email me directly at bschott@schools.nyc.gov
Best,
Ben
