The Brazilian Music Institute in 2022 aspires to continue building its outreach mission and collaboration with the NWSA students and faculty, as well as to engage our University of Florida students in a rich artistic and professional experience in South Florida. The BMI mission of promoting, recruiting and integrating artists, faculty, and students from the USA and Latin America has fashioned an innovative spirit in our artistic program that incorporates classical, jazz musicians, and culture specialists.

Furthermore, the BMI educational component bridges our UF mission and commitment to higher learning grounded in solid musical and cultural experiences with a robust group of artists and faculty exploring various musical repertoires of Brazil and the USA. Combining classical, jazz, and folk styles of music each year, the BMI brings outstanding artists for a weeklong event designed to extend the experience and expand the possibilities of learning with a strong emphasis on building a training ground for a professional life in music.

All campers are under constant supervision by DCF-certified camp counselors who are also licensed educators, and can attend as residential or commuter campers.

The UF Total Musicianship Band Camp provides an excellent opportunity for musicians with a minimum of one year of study on their chosen instrument to improve their individual performance skills while participating in full-band rehearsals, master-classes, sectionals, chamber winds, and optional private lessons—all under the guidance of the professional faculty, staff, and distinguished alumni of the University of Florida. Students will have the opportunity to take elective classes in student leadership, conducting/drum major skills, theory, rhythm skills, improvisation, marching auxiliaries and other related areas. Each camp will conclude with a performance in the amazing Steinbrenner Band Hall or the beautiful University Auditorium.
