<p>Just to add that the New York Music Festival has the latest deadline for application of any we have seen ( believe mid-May) and also allows students to stay longer than 2 weeks if that is what they signed up for. So they may have some flexibility. Most teachers are from Juilliard. Stringkeymom would know better, but I would think BUTI would be closed. You could also check with any conservatory or college summer program, especially conservatory. They have theory and solfege classes in the summer, as well as private lessons in composition and/or theory.</p>
<p>The summer between junior and senior year can be truly pivotal. Sometimes, spending a little money on that summer is worthwhile and brings scholarships later, so it can pay for itself long term.</p>
<p>But, again, am not clear on whether you want to do “contemporary classical” music or not.</p>
