TRANSCRIPT
Playing a musical instrument enhances a child’s quality of life. It provides creative, emotional, and social opportunities and can lead to improvements in academic performance in other areas beyond music. Colleges and universities often need instrumentalists for their orchestras and may offer scholarships to qualified students regardless of their intended academic major.

In addition to playing their primary instrument, participants will study music theory, sight-reading and conducting, which will help them fully understand the conductor. They will learn other skills, such as working and communicating with fellow musicians, preparing to perform under pressure, techniques for practicing, preparing for college, and advice about college applications.
Each student will receive four private lessons and attend workshops and classes. A select few will perform with our renowned faculty, a unique opportunity noteworthy on any college music resume. Scholarships of varying amounts are available for students with demonstrated need and/or musical talent. Each student who successfully completes the program will receive an official certificate of achievement from Westmont College.

Westmont Academy for Young Artists
The Westmont Academy for Young Artists (WAYA) features an intensive two-week (10-day) program for young musicians who seek to significantly improve their instrumental technique and musical artistry. This training will help students prepare for their orchestral and chamber music activities at school, college auditions and MTAC’s Certificate of Merit.
Westmont College founded WAYA and offers the program on its scenic Santa Barbara campus in a recently renovated, all-Steinway music building. Our instructors include nationally acclaimed musicians, performers and teachers. We will teach, inspire and mentor students through lessons, performances, workshops and classes.
