Here the sounds of Belvoir music on this clip.

The happy sounds of music are heard everywhere at Belvoir.
Campers enjoy both private and  group music lessons.

Music is everywhere as you walk around the Belvoir campus. Twenty two private studios nestled in the woods house private music instruction in voice and all instruments. More than half the campers choose private voice instruction with the  nine teacher professional voice staff. There are also many students electing piano or stringed instruments. Belvoir enjoys a resident faculty string quartet, led by Laura Goldberg, a family member and Juilliard precollege teacher. Band  instruments are also taught and many campers find guitar  a popular instrument to study and play. Classes in chorus, opera workshop, flute choir, string class, chamber music and orchestra compliment private lessons.

Girls whose major interest is music spend at least two hours a day with lessons, classes and practice periods. Beginning students can chose two private lessons weekly in any instrument and voice. Theory is also available for beginning musicians. All students have an opportunity to perform in weekly recitals in the music room of the mansion. Advanced student enjoys music master classes, a performance at the Jesup Theater and several performance opportunities in the Lenox community. The Belvoir musicians are enthusiastically welcomed at the Church on the Hill and also at Kimball Farms.

Recent master classes have included Martin Katz, vocal coach, Allison Charney, opera singer and alumnae, Benjamin Zander, cellist and conductor, Daniel Epstein, pianist, and Carol Wincenc, flutist. Trips to nearby Tanglwood, as well as frequent guest and staff recitals are available to all campers. Belvoir believes in creating an audience for classical music.
