Hartt Summerterm

Spend the summer exploring music teaching and learning at The Hartt School. Our core classes and workshops are the ideal opportunity to immerse yourself in the study of music education. 

Hartt Summerterm encourages an environment where the exchange of ideas and concepts with fellow peers and colleagues is both welcomed and nourished. The learning environment is one that fosters personal and professional growth, as well as an esprit de corps and camaraderie that establish new and cherished relationships among students.

Our Programs

hartt summerterm

Hartt Summerterm has provided more than 30 years of outstanding core courses and workshops for educators, artists, and students. We offer graduate-level weeklong workshops,  three- and six-week core curriculum classes for graduate students, and other continuing education offerings. Many students complete our Summers-Only Master of Music Education program by combining core courses and workshops. 

Additionally, graduate students can select one of two summers-only master’s degree tracks, pedagogy or Kodály.  The Hartt Kodaly Certification Program remains a leading program in the United States. Our OAKE-Endorsed certification program is lead by award winning faculty, and centered around a Feierabend curriculum.

Our Faculty

Hartt’s nationally recognized faculty provide students with diverse and innovative curricula. Our reputation as a prominent summer place of study is well earned, as no other offers such a comprehensive music education program taught by nationally and internationally acclaimed educators.
