Dear Music Teachers and Students:

Welcome to the Penn State School of Music’s Summer Institute for Music Learning and Teaching. Our summer academic programs are changing, in part because of feedback we received from teachers. I hope the Summer Institute workshops and courses will be of interest to you, and I encourage you to spend a few days in Happy Valley this summer—retooling, renewing, and rejuvenating. Penn State Conferences and Institutes can help you register for courses and workshops and, if you are interested, housing. Whether you come for a day, a week, or longer, I know you will find an environment that values teaching and celebrates our shared interest in music learning.

Sue Haug, Director
School of Music

The music education faculty is pleased to announce a new offering: Summer Institute for Music Learning and Teaching. Music teachers in K–12 schools and private studios who are looking for professional development or academic and musical enrichment, or who are experiencing a change in job assignment, will find an array of workshops and short courses every summer. The courses and workshops will be taught by Penn State faculty and other outstanding musicians and scholars from across the country. Most sessions will be available for graduate credit and Act 48 hours; you can select the option that best meets your needs. If you have any ideas for a workshop or course in which you would be interested, please be in touch. We look forward to having you join us on the beautiful University Park campus this summer!
