Illinois Summer Youth Music at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has been my highlight of summer teaching since 2007. I would highly recommend for young pianists in middle school and high school age to attend ISYM and cherish memorable summer learning!
Illinois Summer Youth Music brings over 1000 students and 150 faculty and staff together each summer for three weeks of intense music-making. With over 20 different programs, our comprehensive list of offerings include large ensembles at both senior and junior high levels, as well as the more rigorous offerings of the Pre-College division. From the developing junior high student to the aspiring professional, there is a program to challenge and nurture your talents.
