I also cannot speak for piano as my daughter is a wind player. She first attended Tanglewood when she was 14, and had a 15-year old roommate. That summer was her life-changing experience, and this summer will be her third there. She has attended a number of other camps, but Tanglewood is her favorite. You should e-mail Shirley Leiphon at the BU Tanglewood office; she is great about aswering questions–I ask a lot!

In my daughter’s classes, she worked on pieces that she had studied and ones that were new. Everyone participated in master classes and everyone had a chance to play. I believe there are student recitals at least every other week; don’t know about every week. The winds also perform in wind ensemble or orchestra, which pianists wouldn’t do.
