Soon your would-be musical phenom will have a chance to train with a real professional from the Boulder Symphony.
The lessons, provided by orchestra members, create revenue both for musicians and the symphony. They are available to anyone over the age of 4, but are mainly catered to school-aged kids and teens.
Hughes said the academy can serve to build upon skills that students learn as part of the school band or other musical activities.
The academy is designed to “give younger musicians an all encompassing experience,” he said. “… If a kid decides they want to become a musician or a music teacher, that’s one of the greatest things we can see evolve from the students we work with.”
