Abstract
Honorable Mention Winner
As the world approached the Summer of 2020, many would-be taken back at the reality of an undermined virus, Covid-19. This virus has single-handedly impacted the entire world including travel, the economy, and education. For many musicians, especially classical musicians, summer is essential for gaining performance, teaching, working, or internship experience specific to one’s career aspirations. Summer music festivals allow students to make tremendous progress on their instruments as they can focus solely on their art. Summer music festivals are also important for making important connections with potential teachers for graduate school study. This is possible through summer music programs in the form of festivals, academies, camps, and/or institutes. Covid-19 threatened the possibility of summer music festivals taking place students are not able to travel. But a few camps worked to find an alternative, and now we are still able to learn from great cello pedagogues. Originally scheduled to take place in Vermont, the Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival has shifted to an online platform. The Cincinnati Young Artists’ newly implemented Virtual Cello Academy has also created an online model. My partner, Joseph Hamlet and I have both been accepted based on our auditions to these prestigious festivals and we will be comparing our past learning experiences at physical festivals, academies, and/or camps to that of these innovative programs. Joseph and I will receive several online lessons and attend weekly studio classes. Because students are now able to participate in music festivals electronically, this will open doors for the future of music education. These challenges of staying at home and changing how we live because of a global pandemic will open doors to continue music education despite these challenges. Our understanding and mastering of technology, which has become the main force in learning, will be essential to gain the most from these experiences.
