<p>One of the more underrated programs is Eastman Music Horizons, which I attended last summer. I’m not terribly familiar with most of the music camps, but I think the program really helped me quite a bit. I made friends with a lot of instrumentalists, and was even challenged to write a piece for one of them in a day, which later blossomed into one of my portfolio pieces. Overall I’d say that even though it’s not discussed much it’s definitely worth a look. I can’t speak to its selectivity, although I can say that when I applied I was a much worse composer than I am now, and I still got in. I give it two thumbs up!</p>
