Schedule
The first four weeks of Walden consist of classroom and individual instruction, chorus, Composers Forums, recitals and concerts, and special events provided by guests and Artists-in-Residence. The Walden School strives to maintain a healthy balance between intensive music studies and non-academic recreation. Therefore weekly mountain hikes, swimming at nearby lakes, dances, open mike nights, and intra-school sports are also a regular part of the program.
