Piano
The 2025 SMI Piano Camp offers students the opportunity to study music in a stimulating environment under the tutelage of our distinguished piano faculty. This intensive program includes daily private lessons, class lectures on a variety of topics, master classes, piano duet sessions, and performance opportunities. Recitals and presentations by faculty and guests complete the activities. In addition, there are daily opportunities for social fun and recreation.
Preparation
The SMI Piano Camp is designed for pre-college students aged 13-18. High school graduates are also welcome. Conditional acceptance of younger students may be requested via email to Dr. Yontov, the camp director. Students should prepare at least one solo piano work for the first day of camp.
Scholarships
Several scholarships are available to help defray the cost of the camp. Please check the “Scholarships” tab on the main Summer Music Institute page to access this information. Additional scholarships are reserved for participants of the 2025 Dubois Piano Competition.
Master Classes
Daily master classes will be presented by BGSU's distinguished piano faculty.
Piano Duets
Upon arrival, each camper will be assigned a duet partner to study a piece for piano four-hand. Students will receive instruction and rehearse for four days, culminating in a piano duet concert.
Concerts
In addition to the piano duet concert, two joint recitals are scheduled, featuring all participating campers. The solo pieces performed in these concerts will be selected by the piano faculty.
