APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN!

​

Nestled in the serene woods of rural Central Vermont's Green Mountains, Adamant Music School offers an unparalleled intergenerational haven for pianists, from enthusiasts and dedicated conservatory-trained artists to lifelong learners. Check out our distinctive programs at the above links!

​​

Our world-class, diverse faculty fosters a non-competitive community where pianists share chef-prepared meals with locally sourced ingredients, masterclasses, and evenings of music amid 200 acres of verdant hills and shimmering ponds—a celebrated destination for transformative piano immersion and lasting connections.

​

Participants are welcome to attend one or more sessions; each session stands on its own, allowing pianists to choose the dates and faculty that best fit their artistic goals and summer schedule.  

 

Whether you are a student exploring colleges, a conservatory pianist, a professional musician or piano enthusiast, we have a program for you! We look forward to welcoming you to Adamant Music School!
