<p>Taking VicAria’s comment about a music ed aspect a bit further:</p>
<p>I may be wrong, but I’ve yet to find anything in a high school age geared program that encompasses music ed in a summer music participatory performance program. I doubt you’re going to find a program that covers any teaching technique or academic overview aspect of music ed, particularly for the pre college level.</p>
<p>If the Northwestern program the OP mentions includes a music ed aspect, I’d urge her to post a link, as it may well be of interest to a number of people.</p>
<p>There are summer courses and workshops covering numerous aspects of the music ed profession offered at a number of colleges and universities that have noted music ed departments, but these are geared to masters level grad students, professional educators and an occasional music ed undergrad candidate. </p>
<p>These programs tend to move at a fast pace, as do most summer for credit/professional development classes and workshops, and assume a working basic knowledge of rudimentary educational philosophies, psychology, and applied techniques, both general and music specific.</p>
