Interlochen Arts Camps - Oboe

High School Oboe

High School Oboe Study at IAC...

The large ensembles--orchestras and band--form the backbone of the Interlochen Arts Camp experience for HS oboists who range in age from rising ninth graders through recent graduates. Supplementing the large ensemble experience are private lessons, oboe studio classes, and assistance with reeds and reed making throughout the six-week camp. All of the HS oboists have opportunities to work with various resident and guest artist-teachers at Interlochen throughout the summer. The extended experience is a unique time for participants to grow as musicians, build positive artistic habits, and develop lifelong friendships.
