The majority of our faculty and conductors at the Performing Arts Institute have been working together each summer for a number of years. They continue their close association with each other for two reasons: their respect for each other and a shared passion for teaching. The faculty currently performs with symphony orchestras and/or teaches at universities and conservatories. They have trained at The Juilliard School, The Curtis Institute of Music, Eastman School of Music, Yale and The Royal Academy of Music (England), to name a few. Resident Assistants also come to PAI from leading universities and conservatories, where they are pursuing careers in the arts.

Throughout the summer, teachers perform in recitals, coach chamber groups, and play side-by-side with students in large ensembles. This extensive contact provides students with excellent professional role models. These talented teachers are not only valuable resources; they become lasting friends and mentors who help guide students’ careers.

The following is a list of faculty from the summer of 2007, most of whom will be returning to PAI in the summer of 2008. It is important that you and your teacher review the credentials and experiences of our faculty. If you would like to speak with students about our faculty, please call us for phone numbers.
