Description
Week 1: July 2-6, 2024
The Strings Summer Intensive Program brings together young violinists, violists, cellists, and double bassists in an exciting, immersive one-, two-, or three-week program. The weeks are tailored for all levels of student string players, from the absolute beginner and the novice in the Junior program to intermediate and advanced students in the Intermediate & Senior Intensive. The programs will have an emphasis on both the development of technique, and the cultivation of musicianship and artistry. Students can expect to significantly improve their overall level of playing!
Intermediate: RCM Level 5+ | Senior: RCM Level 9+
Participants will take part daily in technique classes, masterclasses, a string orchestra, and chamber music. They will also receive a minimum of three individual lessons and two coaching sessions with a professional pianist. Registrants must submit a repertoire list of recently studied and/or performed solo, chamber and orchestral works. Intermediate & Senior Strings students should arrive with one solo work that is prepared, and one that is a “work in progress”. PDFs of chamber music will be sent a few weeks before the beginning of the Intensive.
Please note that a video of a current piece and scales will be required* as part of the registration. This video is not an audition, it will be used to place students in chamber ensembles suitable to age and ability. Your registration is not complete until we have received this video. If you have difficulty uploading your video here, you may email it to gilker@vcm.bc.ca.
*Returning/Current students of listed VCM SSI faculty are not required to provide a video.
