Summer Music Camp - NYSMF - New York Summer Music Festival

NYSMF Daily Schedule

Every student, counselor, and faculty member spend their entire days devoted to music. However, in addition to performing organizations, NYSMF students have a huge variety of courses that they can choose to take.

The NYSMF Daily Schedule is separated into seven "Blocks".* Students are expected to fill their entire day with at least one ensemble or class in each block. Time may also be set aside for practicing.

We have also provided a version of the schedule in a single-column format below.
