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.
Communicable Disease Transmission and COVID Testing Policy
As an educational institution which takes place for two consecutive weeks with six intensive days of instruction per week, we have found that a communicable disease transmission policy is necessary to keep participants safe and able to partake in the experience. If someone attends the first week with an illness, it may spread and could impact an otherwise unaffected second week population. The value of our camp is in the highest possible daily instruction, and even a single impacted day to any participant could have an outsized impact on their experience.
With these concerns in mind, and with the goal of providing the best experience for all participants, faculty and staff at KBHC 2025, we ask each participant to monitor their health and agree to the following COVID testing policy:
- All participants, faculty, and staff will be tested twice per week, once on arrival day and once on Day 4. Tests will be provided by KBHC staff.
- Those testing positive and symptomatic will be isolated but allowed to partake in events while masked as is possible.
- Refunds will not be given for those testing positive for COVID at KBHC. As a result, we encourage you to test before arriving and take precautions while traveling.
- Anyone who wants to test more than twice a week will provide their own tests.
Our COVID testing and any possible masking requirements are subject to change at any time. KBHC/Cormont Music reserves the right to introduce vaccine requirements or implement any masking or other preventative protocols if informed to do so by CDC guidelines.
High School Students
High school students scheduled to graduate in 2025-2029, and who will be at least 14 years old by June 7, 2025, 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!
