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 in theory, composition, literature, electronic music, and chorus. Celebrated guest artists visit campus throughout the summer for exciting residencies, working closely with students. 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 on Composers Forums.

Our faculty hold degrees from acclaimed institutions, such as the Eastman School of Music, Yale University, and more. Our faculty and staff play an active role in Walden's campus life, working to create an environment where a supportive community develops and creativity flourishes.

Equal parts school, camp, and festival, The Walden School Young Musicians Program features inspiring classes, exciting 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.
