<p>Trying to decide between Eastern Music Festival and Interlochen. Not looking for campy; want quality instruction. Can someone give compare between these two programs for violin? Are they very different and is one more competitive to get accepted into than the other? Help, I’m running out of time.</p>
<p>I am assuming that you or your son/daughter was already accepted into both of these programs? You might want to post this question on a separate new thread to get more responses, because many people use this to report already chosen summer programs. </p>
<p>If I was in this situation, I would sit down with violin teacher and read what goes on during a typical day/week and see how the programs differ and which one matches interests/needs better. Also, one may cost more if it lasts more weeks and that could make the shorter one more appealing. While some people may disagree with me, I don’t think it is as important to know which program is more competitive (harder to get into) than whether it matches student interests, will best support musical growth, and fits family budget. Also, these two programs are in different types of settings (Eastern Music Festival is on a college campus and Interlochen is on a large piece of wooded land in northern Michigan - this would make a big difference to some kids if it meant whether they stayed in a dorm room or a cabin) and Interlochen requires students to wear uniforms, I think! </p>
<p>Interlochen also is different, because it has a large number of kids in junior high and high school who are in programs inother areas besides music (art, drama, creative writing, perhaps) and Eastern Music Festival, as the name indicates, is solely a music program within a music festival and includes college age students. </p>
<p>Kind of an apples and oranges thing.</p>
<p>Apples and oranges. Couldn’t have said it better. Your advice is good and in view of time-sensitivity will also post on new thread. So glad you found it though! thanks</p>
<p>son is off to bowdoin summer music festival for the first session; then home to pack up and gear up for college in the fall</p>
<p>Vocal, instrumental (instrument?), technology?</p>
<p>Wow, I can’t believe the magnitude of young musicians! I myself am a soprano who will be a senior next year in high school. I am going to the Eastman Music Horizons program. Does anyone have any information/personal experience with this program? Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>was going to update the list, only I think it is only acceptances and not decisions. Here’s 3 more decisions</p>

S1 - BUTI YAO
S2 - Strings International Music Festival</p>
<p>Young nephew came up to visit for Juilliard pre-college graduation. Now he wants to play an instrument and go to a summer festival. I think it’s contagious in my home…</p>

<p>My son is going to the Green Mountain Chamber Festival in Vermont. He is a clam in the muck with that, he apparently has been assigned to a chamber group of complete music types like himself (the kind that know about online sites with free public domain music scores and think it would be neat to play really difficult pieces). He was a bit apprehensive about going there again after a not so good experience a couple of years ago (part age related, part not being in a great group), but now he is excited:)</p>
<p>I don’t think I posted that my son is going to BUTI - Piano workshop</p>
<p>So, any Round Top people want to report on how it’s going? Since all are string players, I’m sure they are all buddies by now. My son loves the place, the atmosphere, etc. He did say they are working them pretty hard (poor things)!</p>
<p>Our D is having a great time. Great repertoire, beautiful facilities and a lot of great people. She has given the food (always important and usually bad at summer programs) great reviews.</p>
<p>Having just dropped D3 off at Orford today, it occurs to me that I never mentioned that D2 (viola, but not a music major) is off to Soundfest next week.</p>
<p>My D loves Round Top as well. It’s hot, but the buildings are airconditioned; food is fine;lessons are working out.</p>
<p>My D also reports good news from Round Top:</p>
<ol>
<li>Weather is fabulously hot–several days over 100 last week.</li>
<li>Home made bread and even home made peanut butter.</li>
<li>Sunday is their day off. She went to Schlitterrbahn (terrific water park in New Braunfels where the river really does run through it. 101 degrees at Schlitterbahn.)</li>
<li>The violists all get along well.</li>
<li>Last wee’k’s conductor was allegedly hitting on the principal violist. (Not what a parent wants to hear!)</li>
<li>Fine music making, loads of rehearsals. D found last week hard to get in individual practice. (But she doesn’t seem to be complaining. But mayber her teacher is.)</li>
<li>A party is held after the Sat orch concerts for the students–D is totally impressed. Sat night they even had a live band for them.</li>
</ol>
<p>D decided on going for just the two week flute workshop at BUTI. She felt it would be too much being away all summer with college starting in August.<br>
Dropped her off yesterday at Tanglewood. The verdict is still out. She found herself comparing it to Interlochen…once again, apples to oranges!</p>
<p>Interlochen parents…please share news from camp. My son flies to Michigan on Saturday. He will be in the Vocal Soloist Studies program. I am sure he will have a great time, but he has never been good at giving us news. We have not been to Interlochen and we would enjoy hearing about what it is like. Thanks!</p>
<p>D spent the “best summer of her life” at Interlochen last year. What do you want to know? It was amazing for us as parents to go visit there. We will definately go back. We were told before my d went that there is something magical about Interlochen…they are right. D was an incoming senior last year, in the instrumental program. Please ask anything…from what to pack (warm clothes…she froze last year!) to what to expect. We are thinking of all the kids getting ready to go! Have fun and enjoy every minute!</p>
