The Young Artist will act as a cello studio assistant and will have the opportunity to teach private lessons and coach chamber music for local music students. The Young Artist will also participate in various projects related to the maintenance of the farm according to their abilities - tending native fruit bearing trees and shrubs, gardening, helping with natural building projects (straw bale/earthen home and barn). The intent is to connect the dots with what happens in the natural and cultivated world in relation to our art form. Nothing too intense, however, there is real manual labor involved and students should be prepared to work in the dirt.

During the course of their Apprenticeship, the Young Artist is guided through the process of designing and presenting an innovative concert program that creatively engages with the local audience.
