About the School of Music

The School of Music is one of the three institutionally-accredited schools at the University of Florida College of the Arts. The music program was first organized in 1927 and officially became known as the School of Music in 1995. The school plays an important role in the academic life of the university and the community. The school’s programs provide broad-based instruction in performance, composition, history and literature, and music disciplines through a strong curriculum as well as through professional experiences such as ensembles and internships. UF students also have the opportunity to join more than a dozen music ensembles, including jazz bands, the University Choir, the University Symphony Orchestra and the Gator Marching Band.

SUN JUNE 25 – FRI JUNE 30

Gatorland Band & Instrumental Music Camps are designed to offer student musicians the ability to experience the beautiful University of Florida campus, live and learn in our facilities, and get to know the wind and percussion faculty while participating in exciting music learning experiences. 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 two-day Instrumental Studio Music Camp gives high school students the opportunity to study with UF Studio Faculty and Alumni in individual instrument-specific master-classes, working on technique, solo and ensemble literature, and All-State audition music.

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.

All Camp attendees will live like Gators in the University of Florida residence halls and eat at the fabulous UF dining facilities. This is a wonderful and rare opportunity to make new friends and perform great music in beautiful venues while receiving world-class instruction at a world-class institution.
