What Athena experiences are available for Muses?
ATHENA HONOR BAND - APPLICATIONS DUE FRIDAY, JANUARY 10th
The Athena Honor Band is a VIRTUAL event that occurs in late January/February. Muses will mentor middle and high school young ladies from the US and Canada, and will have the opportunity to learn from trusted Athena faculty and guest clinicians. Selected Muses will require internet access and a quiet place to connect.
The Athena Summits bring together middle school and high school school-aged female musicians, college music education majors, and in-service teachers. This one-day Athena experience inspires, develops, and sharpens both music and leadership skills. Attendees work with professional female musicians and collaborate with women who have similar interests.
ATHENA MUSIC AND LEADERSHIP CAMP
The Athena Music and Leadership Camp is the first to provide a comprehensive, five-day, intensive study exclusively for female middle and high school-level musicians, taught by successful female professional music educators. Our volunteer team plays a major role in the camp experience by providing supervision and assistance while being a positive role model to all campers. Specific information regarding report times and camp schedule will be provided for each location.
