The Walden School fosters a climate of mutual respect so all may take the creative risks necessary for artistic growth. We encourage everyone to listen to and learn from themselves, as well as from one another.

Learning at Walden is grounded in the school's unique musicianship course, utilizing improvisation and composition for musical growth. Students take courses on theory, composition, literature, computer music, and chorus. By the end of the summer, each student has completed at least one composition. Guest artists, faculty members, and fellow students perform and critique these newly composed works.

Our staff takes an active role in Walden's community. The faculty lives alongside the students, eats meals together, and participates in school-wide activities. We believe that by participating together, we can create an environment where community develops and creativity flourishes. Our faculty hold degrees from acclaimed institutions, such as the Eastman School of Music, Yale University, and more.

Walden's Young Musicians Program provides an unparalleled summer experience for students ages 9 to 18. Part school, camp, and festival, Walden features inspiring classes, concerts & composers forums, plus chorus and recreation. Students hone musical and creative skills through a rigorous, innovative curriculum, all within a community of encouraging peers and mentors.
