SAMUEL BARBER SUMMER INSTITUTE
Named in honor of West Chester-born composer, Samuel Barber (1910-1981) was noted for his wide range of symphonic and choral works, including the well-known Adagio for Strings. The Samuel Barber Summer Institute offers an innovative combination of traditional academic courses and special subject seminars featuring nationally renowned leaders in 21st century music education. These courses may be applied to NASM-accredited master’s degrees in music education, applied music, piano pedagogy, music history and literature, and music theory, as well as meeting requirements for teacher certification renewal and professional growth programs. Master’s degrees in the WCU Wells School of Music may be earned through an intensive four-summer program or a combination of regular semester and summer studies.
