Barry Tuckwell Institute
A place to share with Barry Tuckwell and other horn players - play, talk, learn and have fun!

"It is a very nice, intimate situation where
everyone gets to know each other and
has the opportunity to share the common
experiences that bond the musical world."


At the BTI, horn players of all levels come together under the tutelage of Barry Tuckwell and an accomplished faculty to grow as performances and experience the joy of playing the horn in a supportive, non-competitive environment, nurturing both the performer and the person.

"(The BTI) is more relaxed and focused on the enjoyment of playing than any other programs."

Participants learn from the faculty and each other, both onstage and in the extensive personal interaction throughout the days together.  Enrollment is limited to ensure personal attention and an intimate experience.

"The BTI s a very supportive camp which
allows one to open up more than other camps"

The BTI displays a wealth of experience in its faculty - solo performers, orchestras musicians, effective teachers.  Participants benefit from intensive interaction with Barry Tuckwell and each faculty member.

"I have never gone to a place where I was surrounded by so many skilled players... (it) was really good for showing me how far I could go."
