Instrumental Music Week is an immersive weeklong summer experience for woodwind, brass, and percussion students who are ready to take their playing to the next level. This full-day camp is open to musicians ages 15–19 (entering grades 10-12 in the upcoming school year or having just graduated high school) and takes place at Memorial University's School of Music.

Set in a supportive environment where your musical ambitions can flourish, the program combines large ensemble rehearsals with chamber music and individual instruction, led by Memorial University faculty and guest artists. Students will build technique, musical independence, and confidence while collaborating with peers who share their passion for music—all within a focused, engaging, and fun week of learning and performance.

Students participate in a variety of ensemble experiences, including Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band, and chamber music. They also receive instrument-specific instruction from School of Music faculty and expert community musicians. Instrumental Music Week culminates with a concert on Friday afternoon.
