The UAF Summer Music Academy is an intensive two-week session for students who have completed grades 6–12. Participants will have opportunities to attend master classes, perform in instrumental chamber ensembles, brass and vocal ensembles, jazz combos, large and small vocal ensembles, and world beat/steel drum bands. Participants will also perform in weekday recitals and a final concert. Students in grades 11 and 12, who are at an advanced level of study with their instrument, may apply for the mentoring program.
