The Summer Music Camp is an intensive week of piano, voice, and guitar study with professional faculty. Tech's piano faculty and voice faculty teach campers private lessons in voice and/or piano. Guitar lessons are also offered. The camp is filled on a first-come, first served basis. Students receive much personal attention in a positive fun environment. The camp features exciting nightly events and a variety of music classes, such as ensembles, theory, music technology, and music history.

Resident campers are housed and supervised in the dormitory. The camp boasts excellent camp supervisors that are also Tech music majors.

Tuition covers at least three private lessons and all additional courses. An official camp T-shirt is included in the camp fee. On Friday, the campers will give a recital that is open to the public. Friends and family are invited to attend.
