Programs &
Classes

Our holistic approach and philosophy elevate musicians at every level in a healthy and supportive environment.

Artistry

Our residential summer music programs offer students of all ages access to unparalleled instruction with the breathtakingly beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park as a backdrop. For those who want to stay in peak performance or rekindle their connection with music over the summer. Choose from summer music camps for middle school and high school students, a music program for college musicians, or a piano seminar for adults.

Curiosity

Year-round offerings aimed at adults and young people curious to learn more about music than they will glean from everyday study. Thoughtful, upbeat, and entertaining classes for all (non-musicians, too) to enrich and expand musical knowledge and appreciation.

Mastery

Students may add to their professional study of music through masterclasses, college prep study, and a pedagogy series, all with Rocky Ridge’s talented faculty.
