What is Sphinx Prep?

The Sphinx Preparatory Music Institute @ Wayne State University is a tuition free program offering classes to Detroit students in music history, music theory/ear training and instrumental performance for ten Saturdays during both fall and winter semesters (20 weeks total). It serves string, woodwind, brass, percussion and piano instrumentalists, ages 11-18, with a focus on middle school students. The program is designed to address the needs of students in pursuit of music studies at beginning and intermediate levels who lack access to steady, balanced musical training.

Sphinx Prep is hosted by Wayne State’s Department of Music on Saturdays from 12:30-3:30 and consists of four 40 minute sessions and a networking period at the end of each Saturday. Once per semester, Sphinx Prep will feature a guest artist/ensemble in a performance, including potential performances by the Harlem Quartet. During this performance, Sphinx Prep students will also have the opportunity to perform. Applications still being accepted for the 2008-2009 school year! 2008-2009 Sphinx Prep Brochure and Application - PDF file If you don't have Acrobat Reader to view the brochure, download it for free: For more information please contact the Dean of Sphinx Prep, John Madison at 313-877-9100 ext 702 .
