Ohio State’s highest priority is the health and well-being of our community, and the university follows public health guidance in all decisions.

We hope to return with our full complement of Youth Summer Music Programs for 2021. Check these web pages often for updates.


We look forward to seeing you in Summer 2021.


This daily workshop (Mon. – Fri., 9 a.m. – 12 noon) offers two weeks of motivational hands-on training in technique and aural skill development, participation in chamber music ensembles, and large orchestra rehearsals in a fun, non-competitive atmosphere. While this workshop is designed to meet the needs of students from various training styles, all students should have at least one year of playing experience.
