Pacific Music Institute (PMI)

What is PMI?
During the summer, HYS produces the Pacific Music Institute. Under the direction of Music Director Henry Miyamura, PMI is an intense program that strives for musical excellence. This concentrated study course focuses on four different student ensembles (jazz band, concert band, chamber music and symphonic orchestra), each of which presents free concerts for the community at the end of the program. Students engage in theory and master classes in a musical setting not offered during the regular HYS season. This one-week music immersion program is open to local, mainland and international students in grades 8-12 who demonstrate a minimum level of musicianship and receive a teacher recommendation.

The following respected music professionals will serve as our 2010 clinicians:
