Inspired by the Olympics this year we will be going for GOLD with more exciting classes and performances! Keep a close watch on this website-the course list for 2010 will be up soon.
KISSM inspires children, teens and young adults through the universal language of music. Located in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada the students bring a collection of experiences that everyone learns from. Let's make music together and become lifelong friends!

The Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music has been operating successfully since 1978. We are a non-profit society which operates solely on tuition fees, donations and small grants. KISSM is unique in that it provides a high caliber of musical instruction in a fun, relaxed, camp-like atmosphere, attracting students from all over western Canada. Perhaps the greatest key to KISSM's success is its wide variety of programs; where a student may be involved in a number of different musical activities. From classical to jazz, acoustic to electronic, beginner to accomplished performer, age seven to seventy, it is available to everyone. There is an extensive list of course options to choose from, so that students can customize the experience most suited to their interests and needs. All students have the opportunity to perform in numerous recitals and concert situations. There are informal daily recitals on the school's center stage, more informal bi-weekly student recitals, and end-of-camp concerts featuring all of the camp programs.
Please contact Kim 250-574-5437 or email her at info@kissm.ca with any questions.
