School of Music Outreach Programs

The MSU School of Music is extremely proud to be a part of the Arts Without Boundaries mentor program. Arts Without Boundaries scholarships allow MSU music education students teach lessons to young musicians from the community at no charge. So much of what pre-service teachers learn in college is theoretical, and this is an excellent opportunity for future music educators to share their knowledge and skills with young musicians.

Flathead Lake Music Camp is held at the United Methodist Campground near Rollins, Montana on the West Shore of Flathead Lake. We seek to provide an environment in which each student's talents can be nurtured and refined. In addition to technical assistance and instruction, emphasis is placed on the very special self worth of each student. It is our belief that we offer a truly unique musical and education experience in one of the world's most beautiful locations. Students stay in cabins and are supervised by adult counselors. Students must provide their own sleeping bags, linens and personal grooming items.

Activities include Concert Band, Concert Choir, Small Ensembles, Jazz Band, Jazz Choir, Master Classes, Theory, Private Lessons and Recreational Activities such as Canoeing, Volleyball, Basketball, Ping-Pong, Swimming and many more. The dates for this year's High School Band and Choir Camp are July 8-14, 2012. It is possible to attend both Band and Choir camps for NO extra charge!
