ABOUT: The Summer Leadership Institute

TWO DAY INTENSIVE

The Summer Leadership Institute fosters growth within the leadership of high school music programs. During this two-day event, 400 students from around the Southeast come together to learn effective leadership strategies and skills that will better equip them for leading themselves, their sections, and their ensemble.

The 2026 Institute will feature keynote speaker Fran Kick in sessions designed to motivate and inspire young musicians. Breakout sessions with institute faculty focus on communication, team building, problem solving, public speaking and more. Directors attending the Director Track actively discuss new teaching methods focusing on highly effective and practical teaching techniques.

The Summer Leadership Institute is the place to get a head start on next year’s thinking today, make connections, get new ideas and learn new strategies from experienced educators and clinicians in the field
