The PERFORMER CERTIFICATE is designed for
highly talented and motivated young musicians who
would like one year of intensive music study. The
program focuses on the practical, performance-based
aspects of music, including private instruction,
participation in ensembles, and concert experience.
One full recital is required during the two
semesters of study. There is a two-year version of
the Performer Certificate, known as the Artist
Diploma.
