Heifetz International Music Institute is a 501 (L) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to the artistic growth and career development of some of the most talented and promising young musicians in the world.

The Institute
The Heifetz International Music Institute is an intense six-week musical experience for advanced students of violin, viola, and cello. Designed to develop the expressive potential of every performer while encouraging technical growth, the program includes a rigorous schedule of lessons, practicing, solo performance, chamber music, and classes in Heifetz Performance and Communication Training.®

The Course
A six-week summer program that takes place at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, the Institute is based on the revolutionary and transformational educational concept that young musicians can be taught to communicate the emotion of music, beyond mere technical agility and beautiful playing. In addition to two private lessons each week, chamber music coaching, and five hours per day of practice time, the students take a series of one-hour classes each afternoon (one per day) in public speaking, voice, drama , movement, and freedom of expression. This innovative, comprehensive, and cross-disciplinary curriculum can enhance anyone's ability to become a more expressive and communicative person.
