OUR
INSTRUCTIONAL
MODEL

Alaska Cello Intensive is a a music program that helps students become aware of the relationship between exceptional instruction and meaningful performance. ACI is a unique academic environment in which students perform professionally, rather than in the simulated environments of recitals and competitions. Performances are prominent, professional, and sold-out. Clear emotional feedback from connecting with public audiences circles back to both instructional and practice time. Becoming part of an excellent production, even for a week,  inspires, motivates, and intensifies student resolve to invest effort in both themselves and others.
