The Eastman Summer Tuba & Euphonium Institute is a weeklong experience where you will hone your musicianship, strengthen career-building skills, and expand your network of colleagues and mentors. Every participant will have the opportunity to perform in a masterclass, play in small and large tuba/euphonium ensembles, and take a private lesson with a faculty member. We will also have daily fundamentals classes, a panel discussion on career-building, a mock audition for both tuba and euphonium, a participant recital, and a participant chamber music concert.

After a Sunday evening Faculty Concert and welcome session, each day will include a variety of classes and seminars, including:

• Faculty-led group fundamentals classes
• Masterclasses
• Chamber ensembles (small groups and large tuba/euphonium ensemble)
• Private lessons with faculty
• Individual practice time
• Special topics discussions: Career Building, Social Media in Music, Instrument Doubling, University Teaching
• Mock auditions

This institute is designed for undergraduate students, graduate-level students, and early career professionals. Enrollment limited to 10 tubists and 10 euphonium players.
