Rider University's Westminster High School Summer Arts Programs

High school students can take the next step toward achieving their academic and artistic goals through Rider University's Westminster High School Summer Arts Programs—immersive, residential experiences that offer a taste of college-level study in music while helping students refine technique, expand creativity, and explore future pathways in the arts. Participants work closely with expert faculty, develop performance skills, and connect with a community of like-minded young artists. For students in grades 1 through 12, Westminster Conservatory’s Summer Workshops provide engaging opportunities to build musical knowledge through collaborative classes, ensemble experiences, and performance-based learning. Open to students with or without prior musical experience, these workshops are designed to nurture curiosity, strengthen foundational skills, and inspire growth at every level—offering something for beginners and advancing musicians alike.
