Summer & Winter Intensives

The Winter Intensive runs approximately 3 weeks (December 20 - January 10). The Summer Intensive runs 4-6 weeks (mid-June to early August), depending on the track. Exact dates vary by track and faculty availability.

Yes. All instruction is conducted live via Zoom. There is no travel required. Students participate from anywhere in the world with a stable internet connection, their instrument, and a quiet practice space.

All instruction is delivered by Global Conservatory core faculty -- international soloists, principal players from major orchestras, and senior educators from top conservatories. We do not use teaching assistants or outsource instruction.

Tuition covers weekly private lessons, group classes, masterclasses (where applicable), practice planning, and faculty feedback. Exact inclusions vary by track. Optional add-ons such as mock auditions or final evaluations may be available.

Partial scholarships may be available for exceptional applicants. If you wish to be considered for scholarship support, include a brief explanation in your application. All scholarship decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.

Absolutely. Many students participate in both seasons. Each intensive is independently structured, so you can apply to one or both. Returning students may receive priority placement with their preferred faculty.

Our intensives serve pre-college students (ages 14-18), undergraduate and graduate-level conservatory students, and young professionals. The Pre-College Development Track is specifically designed for ages 14-18, while other tracks are open to all levels.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Early application is strongly encouraged due to limited availability. We recommend applying at least 6-8 weeks before the program start date to ensure the best faculty matching and scheduling options.
