Ok. First of all you can get lots of information about this program through
the web site. (www.bu.edu/sfa/affiliated/buti)

Its good stuff!
The programs that they offer are:
The Young Artists Vocal Program
The Young Artists Orchestra
The Young Artists Piano Proagram
The Young Artists Wind Ensemble
The Young Artists Composition Program
and a bunch of ther seminars for specific instruments.

Its an incredible program aimed towards gifted students ages 14-18. The
students study with members of the music faculty of boston university and
have masterclasses with reknowned tanglewood-ites such as Phyllis Curtin. The
vocal program, specifically, is designed to be very similar to an experience
in an undergraduate music school (without all those annoying liberal art
requirements). Voice students attend daily voice class with Phyllis Hoffman
and daily chorus rehearsal with Dr, Ann Howard Jones. The rest of the
curriculum consists of classes in music history, theory, diction, movement,
and preparing opera scenes to be presented at the end of the six weeks. They
also work with priovate teachers and coaches.
Honestly, there is no program that nurtures the young voice quite like the
vocal program at the BU Tanglewood Institute.
About $$$$......
Yeah its pricy, but they are generous with financial aid.

If you have any other specific questions about the program, please dont
hesitate to ask!
