  1. I am a junior music major in Missouri and have an internship portion of my degree to complete. I am very interested in your summer program internships that are available. I was wondering if there was a preferred age bracket and what music background is desired. Thank you!

    • Dear Michael,

      It is always better to have some musical background for that position. The intern prepares actively the schedule of rehearsals and practice rooms according to the repertoire to be coached and rehearsed. I guess your background should be more than adequate. We would be interested in having your c.v. You may send it to my attention.

      Cordially,
