Camp Application
An unparalleled opportunity to improve your musicianship
Enrollment is non-competitive and FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED in order to enable a participant-to-faculty ratio of 4:1. This ensures that every participant has an unparalleled opportunity to improve their technique and musicianship.
KBHC 2024 COVID-19 Policy
Although KBHC does not have a vaccination requirement for 2024, we encourage everyone to receive the latest CDC-recommended COVID-19 vaccinations before coming to camp. This is to protect the health of all participants, staff, and faculty, and to help ensure those attending camp are able to participate fully.
If you have respiratory virus symptoms or test positive for any respiratory illness, you should remain isolated until your symptoms have improved, you feel well enough to resume normal activities, and you are free of fever for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication. You should also wear a mask when you are around others in indoor settings for a total of 10 days from when your symptoms started. A testing protocol will be determined closer to KBHC 2024 dependent on the current situation and recommendations. If you should test positive at KBHC camp staff will work with you to find outdoor playing opportunities, if feasible and weather permitting.
High School Students
High school students scheduled to graduate in 2024-2028, and who will be at least 14 years old by June 8, 2024, are eligible to apply. Students must also be currently studying horn privately on a regular basis. First-time participants need to fill out an application and make a recording in order to be accepted into the camp. Returning high school students only need to fill out the application.
College Students
College undergraduate and graduate students majoring in music performance, music education, or any other subject, are eligible to apply.
The immersive experience of KBHC is the ideal space for serious college students. Participants work with renowned faculty in individualized and small group settings, and can delve deeply into orchestral excerpts, fundamentals, and solo work. Many of our collegiate alumni have gone on to successful careers as performers and educators.
Adult Students
KBHC offers great value to a wide range of adults, from professionals to serious amateurs to those picking up the horn for the first time in years. Participants will enjoy the ability to craft their ideal curriculum by choosing from classes targeted toward their specific goals and interests: reinvigorating an already high level of playing, diving deeply into a specific area such as natural horn or solo performance, working on fundamentals, and much more!
