Summer Music INTENSIVE 2026

NAM MUSIC STUDIO | Fairfax, VA

The Sound Bridges Summer Music Intensive is built around a deliberately small cohort of dedicated young musicians in grades 5–12. With enrollment intentionally limited, students receive individual attention through private lessons, chamber music coaching, and side-by-side performing experiences with faculty.

Designed for eager and motivated students, this intensive provides a focused, supportive environment for artistic growth at a high level.
