Auditing
Some sessions during these workshops will be open to auditors.
An auditor is a non-performing participant at the workshop. Auditors are music teachers, performers, or music lovers who pay to attend a group or a single workshop session. It is necessary to register and apply to become an auditor.
Auditors will receive a complimentary ticket to the Young Artists Concert. The workshop schedule will be sent to auditors approximately six weeks prior to the workshop start date. The fee for auditing is $30 per day, and sessions are limited to 20 people. To register, please use the form found here. For more information, call 212-903-9733 or e-mail ptw@weillmusicinstitute.org.
