CONN-SELMER VIP PROGRAM An exclusive opportunity for music educators to visit Elkhart, Indiana and experience the last full-line of American made band and orchestra instruments. During this behind-the-scenes visit, VIP’s will partner with Conn-Selmer leadership, meet factory artisans and become an integral part of the product development and manufacturing process.
“The Conn-Selmer VIP Program changed me fundamentally as an educator. Shaking hands with the artisans who make the instruments gave me insight, not only into the pride of the product, but to Conn-Selmer’s consummate commitment to quality. The abundant friendliness, warmth and dedication beaming from each employee splashes vivid color throughout an experience that quickly becomes a career-highlight.” Scott Filleman, Director of Bands, Oklahoma Christian Academy, OK
