<p>Tanglewood…hmmm…</p>

<p>Two different programs.</p>

<p>Boston University Tanglewood Institute (BUTI) is for high school students.</p>

<p>TMC- Tanglewood Music Center is fellowship program for college age and older.</p>

<p>There is really no connection between the two at all.</p>

<p>University of Michigan
Interlochen
Brevard
University of Miami
Boston University Tanglewood Institute
Eastman School of Music: Music Horizons
Idylwild Arts
Northwestern Univ. National High School Summer Music Institute

<p><a href=“http://www.classicalsinger.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?category=63[/url]”>http://www.classicalsinger.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?category=63&lt;/a&gt; There is some good information on Classical Singer about various summer programs. Walnut Hill for high school classical is another good one not on your list.</p>

<p>klkl: Music Academy of the West is not really appropriate for high school students. Every once and a while an 18 year old wunderkind comes along, but for the most part these young singers are well along in their undergrad, grad and post grad careers. Competition for these coveted spots is international in scope and of a VERY high level. No tuition, living in Montecito and studying with Marilyn Horne…what’s not to like? <a href=“http://www.musicacademy.org/festival/players/2010-fellows[/url]”>http://www.musicacademy.org/festival/players/2010-fellows&lt;/a&gt;
Google some of the names and you will see that several of the participant are already signed to YAP contracts.</p>

<p>Everyone, thank you so much.
Just out of curiosity, do you know of any international programs? I know there are many, I just don’t know which ones are GOOD</p>

<p>My son did NHSMI last summer and enjoyed it, but it seemed more focused on instrumental. He did Hawaii Performing Arts Festival this summer and loved it. Right now he is at University of the Pacific, Pacific Opera Insitute. At UOP he is working with YAP’s and Prof opera singers. He’s actually understudying a part for The Merry Widow they are performing at the Bear Valley Music Festival. He was accepted to Carnegie Mellon, but had two friends going to Hawaii and chose that instead. One of the friends he went to Hawaill with will probably be doing the Music Academy of the West with Marilyn Horne next summer (after her senior year).</p>
