*Additional Cost for Individual Lessons

Team Lessons:

Each team will have two lessons: one for the duet, and one for the two-piano piece. Team lessons take place before masterclasses begin.

Team Lessons Week 2 (Two-Piano): Wednesday morning July 12th, or Saturday morning July 15th

Masterclasses:

Each team will perform in two masterclasses. The first masterclass will be duets, the second will be two-piano pieces.

Each Masterclass will be between 30 minutes and 1 hour in length, and 2-4 teams will be in attendance at a time. Each team will perform and receive instruction for 15 minutes of the allotted time. Masterclasses will take place either Wednesday or Saturday between 9am-noon.

Thursday August 3rd at 7:00pm in the Concerto Hall at the Utah Piano Conservatory.

Performance attire required.

Misc. Information:

Teams: Participants may pick their own partners in the case of siblings, or friends. We would recommend that the students are partnered by level for a more pleasant experience. We will pair participants who sign up alone.

Program Attendance: As all participants will be on a “team” it is extremely important that each participant is available to attend all classes. Please specify if participants would like to be scheduled for either Wednesday or Saturday classes on the Evaluation Sheet.

Practice: It is extremely important in a Duo team to come to all classes completely prepared with materials, and music learned. Participants should have their music completely learned and should be able to play their pieces at the same tempo as their partner, so the collaboration can be a smooth as possible.

Additional Team Practice: If teams feel they need more time practicing together, whether on one piano (duet) or two pianos, rehearsal time can be set up at the Utah Piano Conservatory, though no instruction will be given.

Concert/Recital Dress Code: There is no required dress code for attending the camp. We do require modesty and dress as outlined by the standards set forth in the LDS guide “For the Strength of Youth.” However, for the concert, the required dress code is “Performance Attire.”

Memorization: Students will not be required to memorize either of their pieces for the camp concert.

Parent/Private Teacher Observation: Parents and private teachers are encouraged to attend team lessons and masterclasses for free observation.

1-Year Minimum Experience: This program is for students of all ages, but is not for students with less than a year of experience with piano lessons. Again, students will be required to learn their parts of the pieces they will play on their own, or with their private teacher, and be ready for collaboration by their first team lesson.
