Festivals and Camps
The School of Music at SIU provides numerous camps available to students each summer, as well as year round festivals drawing musicians from all styles and instrumentation. Check out what we have coming up this year!
Summer Music Camp
Students can choose from focused tracks of High School Band, Junior High Band, Jazz Improv, Color Guard, Drum Major and Marching Percussion.
Join dozens of fellow musicians in grades 7 to 12 from across the United States at the music camp that has served as a model for similar programs nationwide: the Southern Illinois University Summer Music Camp. Refine your musical skills during daily rehearsals, master classes and concerts.
Piano Camp
The camp includes a summer piano competition. Those interested in competing should prepare a repertoire of no less than 15 minutes comprised of at least three pieces showing different styles or from different time periods.
