Piano Scholars Camp

This camp is open to students ages 12–18 (campers who are 18 and have not yet matriculated at a college are eligible to attend camp). No audition is required; all levels are welcome. Students should have at least one year of prior piano study. All students receive daily private lessons and master classes. Other sessions include theory, ensemble, music history, sight playing, and guest speakers and performers. Optional classes may include dance, improvisation, composition, and steel drum ensemble. Housing is provided in Butler University's Irvington House, which is air-conditioned. Dorm check-in is 7:00–9:00 PM on Sunday evening; check-out is before or after the recital on Friday. It is generally recommended that younger students attend as commuter students. Commuter campers check into camp at 8:30 AM Monday and attend camp from 9:00 AM–5:30 PM each day. Camper information packets containing additional scheduling information, what to bring, and where to report will be emailed to all participants approximately two weeks prior to camp. Registration form and $50 non-refundable deposit due by May 1; remaining tuition is due in full by June 1 for all campers, both residential and commuter. Payment can be made online by selecting "Make a Payment" on the BCAS homepage. All refund requests must be submitted via email to BCAS@butler.edu. No refunds will be issued after June 1. Late applications may be accepted on the basis of available space.
