What makes the Giannini Brass Quintet Workshop different from other summer band camps is the focus on brass performance and education. All brass students will perform in their own brass chamber ensemble, which will be coached by a member of the Giannini Brass Quintet. The smaller ensemble setting allows the opportunity to better reach students and to directly address their individual needs as performers. This setting is also a great way to teach fundamental lessons on balance, blend, intonation, and phrasing, which students can then take back to their regular-year programs.

Students can expect to participate in at least one chamber ensemble, a secondary ensemble (orchestra, wind ensemble, or brass choir), a daily theory and musicianship class, and master classes conducted by the Giannini Brass Quintet and other professional guest artists associated with the North Carolina School of the Arts. They will also attend performances both on and off campus, and have a weekly private lesson with a member of the Giannini Brass.
