NOTE: The difference between this workshop and a conference? A conference lets you walk in the candy store and sample a few things. This workshop lets you walk in the candy store...AND EAT EVERYTHING!
(BOTH are important in their own way!)There are other camps - but nothing compares to the experience you'll have at the Cosmopolitan Tuba Euphonium Workshop. Just ask any of our past participants - they'll tell you why!
KEEP SCROLLING DOWN!
CHECK OUT WHAT FORMER GUESTS HAD TO SAY:
"If you want an amazing musical experience this summer, you must check out the Cosmopolitan Tuba Euphonium workshop! You'll not only hear world-class musicians perform, you'll get to work and hang with them! Students experience amazing growth during this camp and form bonds that will last a lifetime. I had a ball working with the caring staff and teachers and you will too."
Marty Erickson (former guest)

"The Cosmopolitan Tuba Euphonium Workshop, organised by Mike Milnarik, is a fabulous experience where students of all ages can learn with the pros!"
James Gourlay (former guest)

"The CTEW is one of the best opportunities for interacting with professionals in a workshop setting. The depth and variety of the guest artists and ensembles is truly wonderful. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fulfilling experience."
Don Harry (former guest)
Principal Tuba Buffalo Philharmonic and the Eastman School of Music
"When I was a guest artist at the Cosmopolitan Tuba Euphonium Workshop I was impressed by the level and interest of the students and the artists. Mike is a great organizer and it was a wonderful experience for all. This is a a great summer festival for students of all levels--there is a lot to play and learn."
Jim Self (former guest)
Tuba Soloist and Los Angeles/Hollywood Recording Artist
"I highly recommend CTEW to any tuba or euphonium player. CTEW provides performance opportunities, world-class instruction, network building, individual attention, ensemble skills, and, most of all, FUN! It is a unique gathering of like-minded musicians who are all interested in challenging themselves and developing artistry on their instruments. CTEW is tailored to provide a great experience for all levels of player. Whether you are an interested amateur or a motivated music major, this workshop is guaranteed to help you meet your musical goals."

COMMENTS FROM SOME PAST PARTICIPANTS:
(Comments from ALL past participants on our website!)
“Being a very cheap and skeptical person, I was not sure about how the quality of the workshop would compare to the price and if it would all be worth the time and money to come despite how many recommendations I got from many of the former participants and guest artists. However, after attending I can very confidently assure anyone who is doubting the quality of the workshop and the amount of growth they will see in their playing due to it, that it is definitely worth the price. Not only will you get to work and hang out with on a daily basis some of the best performers on our instruments, but you will also get to meet tons of other participants who are committed to learning and improving as much as you are in one of the best and most friendly atmospheres for doing so I have encountered.”

“Once again CTEW was awesome! Having the two week option let me learn even more than before but I didn't feel burned out at all. It was really fun and a great experience!”

“CTEW is something that is difficult to put into words. It's a camp that Tuba and Euphonium players can go to get better right? Well, this is only about a tenth of it. For me, CTEW is the focal point of the year, because it is the greatest experience of my life. Before this year's CTEW, I had many things happen to me that left me emotionally down to the point where I stopped practicing on a daily basis like I used to. But when I finally got to CTEW everything changed. Not only did I get back to start practicing again, but I also learned a lot about myself and got some great advice at CTEW from the many professional artists there. Oh, and by the way, these artists will blow you away by both how great of players they are and also by the inspiration that they can give. I never knew what I wanted to do or where I wanted to go in my life before coming to CTEW my first year, but every year makes my life and my outlook on the future a much better than I could ever imagine. And the camp is worth much more than it's price, probably about ten times more if you think about it. There's Masterclasses, Group Ensembles, Small Ensembles, Clinics with world renown musicians, Concerts, and even just a simple warm up every morning to get your day starting strong. But this is only the bare surface of it. The atmosphere at CTEW is amazing, and not once did I ever wake up thinking "uugghh, not again" because I really loved being there, and I would recommend anyone who wants to both get better as a musician, and to have a great time doing so to come to next year's CTEW, no matter the cost.”
