This summer program is a five-day course presented by Michael Stegner.  The topics focus on curriculum, musicianship and performance techniques.  This program aims to connect the dots between teaching the information and teaching the students how to make music with the information.

The concepts are presented in a logical order so you may apply them to your teaching immediately.  These sessions are meant to compliment any and all teaching methods you already use.  All the concepts will be presented so they can be used with beginning to advanced level students.

You will walk away from the program with concrete activities to use in your studio.
