Dear Students, Parents and Colleagues:
 
Welcome to our 63rd season! Florida State University houses one of the largest and most comprehensive schools of music in the nation. Music instruction began at the University in 1900, and the School of Music is proud of its century-long tradition of excellence in professional education in music. In response to the educational needs of high school and junior high/middle school students, since 1942 the School of Music has offered a course of study designed to offer young musicians unique

opportunities to develop their musical talents. Our twelve specialized programs are all designed to enhance the artistic and social growth of each individual student. The campus setting helps each camper develop social relationships with other musicians who share their interests. Last summer we hosted campers from 27 states and six foreign countries, providing our students wonderful opportunities to get to know young musicians from all over the nation and world. Supervised and informal recreational activities are an integral part of each program. Campers are housed and fed in Southgate Campus Centre, an air-conditioned, supervised, private residence hall near the School of Music buildings and adjacent to the campus.

Enrollment for this year's camps will be limited. Register early to ensure your participation. For additional information, please contact my office at (850) 644-4069 or 850/644-9934, or e-mail us at rawillia@mailer.fsu.edu. We look forward to having you join us this summer.

Sincerely,

Steven N. Kelly
