travel to and FroM Santa barbara
Santa Barbara is easily accessible by plane, bus, train, and, of course, by car.
All fellows are responsible for arranging their own transportation to the
Academy.
by Plane
Santa Barbara is served by two airports: Santa Barbara Airport (SBA), and
the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
Santa Barbara Airport (SBA), is a small airport served by: United, American
Airlines, and Alaska Airlines. Because of limited direct service, travelers often
route to SBA through LAX and San Francisco (SFO). The Music Academy vans
will pick you up at SBA when you arrive.
Santa barbara arial view
caMPuS overvieW
Santa Barbara sits on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, approximately 90 miles
north of Los Angeles. The Music Academy Summer School and Festival takes
place on two campuses in the Santa Barbara area: on the main campus
(“Miraflores”), and on our nearby residential campus, Westmont College.
The Music Academy’s main campus is a private estate donated to the Music
Academy in 1951. Set on nine beautiful garden acres in residential
Montecito, it is about three miles from downtown Santa Barbara and just
a two minute walk from the Pacific Ocean. The Music Academy’s main
campus is the locaction for administration offices and most orchestra
rehearsals, chamber recitals, masterclasses, lessons, instrumental practice
rooms, fellow recitals and competitions.
Located just a 10-minute drive from the Music Academy’s main campus,
Westmont College’s stunning mountainside campus houses the Academy’s
summer residence halls. Voice and Vocal Piano lessons and rehearsals are
located here.
These facilities and others are described in greater detail on the following
pages.
—8—
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is a major international hub, served
by most airlines. Flights to and from LAX are often less expensive than those
to and from SBA. See details below regarding transportation to and from LAX.
Getting to and from laX
From LAX you must arrange travel to Santa Barbara, approximately a twohour drive. The most convenient and direct option for travel from LAX to
Santa Barbara is the Santa Barbara Airbus, a charter bus service that runs
between LAX and Santa Barbara several times daily.
Santa barbara airbus reservations:
1-800-423-1618
www.sbairbus.com
Be sure to choose the Santa Barbara drop-off and pick-up, which is located
on Cabrillo Blvd. in the Hyatt Hotel parking lot; this is the closest Airbus stop
to Music Academy residence halls (Westmont College Campus) and where
Music Academy vans will meet you when you arrive.
A word to the wise: Do not schedule a late-evening arrival into or early
morning departure from LAX. Due to the two-hour commute between LAX
and Santa Barbara, are there are limited trips available on the Santa Barbara
Airbus that transfer you to/from Santa Barbara at times that accommodate
our required timeframes for your arrivals and departures. See the Santa
Barbara Airbus schedule for trip options to/from Santa Barbara, and then
—9—
GeT TInG HeRe
reserve your flights in/out of LAX accordingly. Keep in mind that you should
check into LAX at least two hours prior to a domestic flight, or three hours
prior to an international flight.
Music Academy fellows may obtain reduced-cost airfares by booking travel
through Santa Barbara Travel Bureau (mention you are a Music Academy
fellow). note that Santa Barbara Travel adds a $40 service fee to your
reservation.

Telephone: 805-966-3116
If you plan to arrive before Friday, June 10 (except for String Quartet
Seminar fellows and Vocal Piano fellows who must arrive early) you will be
responsible for your own transportation and housing until residence halls
are available at noon on June 10. For a list of Santa Barbara Hotels, see page
23. The first meal served will be dinner on Friday, June 10.
When you arrive in Santa barbara
If you arrive in Santa Barbara on approved arrival dates, Music Academy
vans will pick you up and bring you to Westmont College, the Academy’s
residential campus in Montecito. Just complete the online Travel
Information Form, and we’ll pick you up when you arrive at one of the
following locations:
• The Santa Barbara Airport
• The Santa Barbara Airbus drop-off (charter bus from LAX
to Santa Barbara for those flying into Los Angeles).
• The Amtrak Station in Santa Barbara
• The Greyhound Bus Depot in downtown Santa Barbara
Be sure to include both your arrival and departure dates on the Travel
Information Form so we can plan your return transfer when the summer is
over. And when making your travel plans, please try to arrive and depart
during daylight hours.
If you arrive or depart before 7 am or after 10 pm or on any other date
beyond the approved dates, you will need to arrange your own transfer to
or from Westmont College.

body mechanics, and a lecture series focusing on lifestyle & leadership topics
such as balancing a career and personal life, public speaking, managing stress,
and professional development. Opportunities include a cardio class,

trumpeter Bill Williams will present a series of workshops, lectures, and
interactive coaching sessions designed to provide fellows with the opportunity
to develop their performance skills in an in-depth, experiential environment.

tHe coMPeer ProGraM
The Compeer Program unites fellows and audience members in one-onone friendships so that the Academy audience is not a sea of faces but an
audience of friends. The Compeer Program is truly a unique and
extraordinary part of the Academy experience, creating a dynamic
community unrivaled by any other festival.
each summer, Academy fellows are matched with a Compeer, an individual
or family from among the Academy’s most enthusiastic and devoted
audience members and donors. These patrons become a personal cheering
section and Santa Barbara guides to the fellow(s) with whom they are
matched. Dinners, relaxing at the Compeer’s home or sightseeing around
Santa Barbara are just a few of the many perks of this special program.
Fellows and Compeers interact approximately once per week, possibly
more often depending upon schedule availability.
your participation in this program is strictly voluntary, though historically
all fellows have been delighted to be involved.
2016 marks the 19th season of the Compeer Program, which begins with
the annual Compeer Kickoff Dinner, a festive dinner with Compeers,
administration and faculty at the Westmont campus. Since seating is
limited, fellows may not invite guests to this event. More information
regarding this event will be provided at Orientation.
Fellows and Compeers often develop friendships that carry on long after
the fellows’ attendance at the Music Academy. Some fellows from 1998,
when the Compeer Program began, are still in touch with their Compeers.
For fellows at the Music Academy, having genuine personal connections
with the audience and community is not only a benefit that makes
performances much more meaningful, but is also a significant skill as they
move forward in their careers. As one fellow shared, “The Music Academy’s
community experience is far superior to any other I have known and played
a major factor in my overall appreciation for and enjoyment of this past
summer. I couldn’t imagine my time at Music Academy without having met
my own as well other people’s Compeers.”

THe COMPeeR PROGRAM
outSide PerForMance requeStS
Remember that fellows may not perform for any gathering or event outside
those scheduled by the Music Academy. If Compeers or any member of the
community invite you to perform in their home or elsewhere, you must
first obtain an Outside Performance Request Form through the Artistic
Administrator. Outside performances must be approved in advance by both
the faculty and administration, in order to ensure there are no conflicts
with Academy events and ensure fellows’ time is protected for Academy
commitments. If an outside performance is approved, the hosts are
responsible to pay fellows for their performance according to the guidelines
set forth within the Outside Performance Request Form.
a Word about Gratitude and coMPeer etiquette
Compeers and fellows often develop close and very personal relationships.
For this reason, it is particularly important to be sensitive to and respectful
of the generosity that your Compeer has shown. Under no circumstances
should you expect or request financial assistance from your Compeer, for
any reason. Please thank Compeers after each social gathering or meal
hosted by Compeers, and also be sure to write your Compeer a thank you
note at the end of the summer. notes during the summer will certainly be
welcomed as well. Fellow verbal and written gratitude is deeply appreciated
by Compeers and goes a long way in strengthening relationships built
through this special program.
FelloW conduct
The Music Academy of the West is dedicated to providing a safe, supportive,
and artistically rich environment for its entire community — fellows, faculty,
staff, and guests. To assure such an environment, and that the rights,
privileges, and safety of all are honored and respected, the Music Academy
has adopted the following regulations.
your enrollment carries with it your agreement to abide by these guidelines.
Since your actions here affect everyone, failure to follow Academy policies
can result in your dismissal from the Music Academy. Please read them
carefully and understand them fully!
attendance requireMentS
All Music Academy fellows must attend the complete Summer School and
Festival. This means that all fellows must arrive in Santa Barbara on the
designated arrival date and remain in town throughout the festival. (See
pg 12 for arrival and departure dates). Fellows are expected to maintain
professional discipline in attendance and punctuality at all rehearsals and
events for which they are scheduled. Assigned attendance at lessons,
masterclasses, orchestra rehearsals/concerts, opera rehearsals/
performances, and other instructional events is mandatory. Fellows who
anticipate an unavoidable and exceptional absence during the summer
must submit a request in writing for consideration of the absence’s approval
prior to submitting their enrollment agreement. enrolled fellows who
discover during the summer that they have a conflict with a scheduled
event or need to leave the campus overnight due to an unavoidable and
exceptional circumstance must submit a request immediately and in person
to the Academy’s Dean. Approvals for absences are considered only in cases
of critical family responsibilities, or significant professional opportunities,
or when in the view of the Academy, denial would cause significant personal
or professional hardship. Requests for absences are considered on a caseby-case basis. Unexcused absences may result in dismissal from the
program without refund of fees paid.

FeLLOW COnDUCT
alcoHol Policy
The legal drinking age in California is 21. It is a crime to sell, furnish, or give
away an alcoholic beverage to any person under the age of 21 or to any
intoxicated person. Drinking by fellows who are under age 21 is prohibited.
Under-age drinking will result in mandatory dismissal from the program,
and parents of under-age drinkers will be notified.
Fellows 21 years of age or older must drink responsibly. Fellows identified
as publicly intoxicated by Music Academy administration and/or law
enforcement will lose the privilege to reside at Westmont for the remainder
of the festival and will be responsible for arranging off-campus
accommodations at their own expense, or will be dismissed from the
festival.
Members of the Music Academy administration, in their sole discretion,
have the power to determine that drinking by a fellow is irresponsible, even
if not involving public intoxication. Those considered to be drinking
irresponsibly will be reported to the Academy administration for a follow
up meeting to determine consequences, including possible suspension or
dismissal. All efforts will be made to ensure that those who are (21 and
over) drinking alcohol are doing so in moderation.
Alcohol is permitted on the grounds of Music Academy during pre and postconcert meals and receptions. On the Westmont campus, beer and wine
only may only be served and consumed by individuals aged 21 and over
within the Hospitality Facility between the hours of 8 pm and Midnight
Sunday through Thursday evenings, and between the hours of 8 pm and
1 am Friday and Saturday evenings.
Fellows (21 and over) who purchase beer and wine to be consumed at
Westmont must have the beer/wine stored within a locked location within
the Hospitality Facility at Westmont until 8 pm each evening when
beer/wine service is available. Please note, beer and wine will not be made
available at Westmont on a “self-serve” basis and instead will be distributed
by a staff server on duty during the above mentioned hours. When bringing
wine and/or beer on the Westmont campus, fellows must deliver it directly
to the Resident Director on duty either during RD office hours (1-2 pm or
7-8 pm daily) or during the approved service/consumption hours. All beer
and wine brought into campus, including carriers or boxes with multiple
bottles, must be enclosed in a bag. Upon delivery to the RD, the beer and/or
— 54 —
FeLLOW COnDUCT
wine will be labeled with the purchaser’s name. Fellows must present a
photo ID in order to be served beer and/or wine. At the end of each evening
open beer and wine containers must be recycled in the provided
receptacles within the Hospitality Facility. If unopened, beer and wine may
remain stored and locked within the Hospitality Facility.
Possession of an open or empty alcohol container shall be treated as proof
of consumption. If alcohol is being consumed in an unapproved area, and
a fellow under age 21 is present, this will also be treated as proof of
consumption by the underage fellow, and all individuals present will be held
responsible.
A $500 fine will be imposed for each alcohol policy infraction. Multiple
infractions may result in loss of housing or dismissal from the summer
festival.
quiet HourS
Quiet hours inside and outside residence halls begin at 11 pm and last until
8 am. Inside the Hospitality Facility, quiet hours begin at 11 pm; doors must
remain closed after 11 pm. noise must be kept to conversation level during
quiet hours. no amplified music is permitted during quiet hours. no
rowdiness will be tolerated at any time. The Hospitality Facility must be
cleared of any items used during social gatherings and furniture returned
to its original placement at the end of each evening.
noncompliance with quiet hour regulations will incur a warning or
suspension as well as a possible fine up to $100 for each minor breach or
violation, depending upon the severity of the violation. If a fellow is involved
in two policy violations, the second incident will include the administration’s
consideration of the fellow’s dismissal from the Festival. Policy violations
put the Academy’s rental contract with Westmont College at risk, and loss
of housing privileges would terminate the program. Fellows will be treated
as professionals and will be asked to handle themselves as such.
druG-Free environMent
The Music Academy of the West maintains a drug-free environment. Any
fellow found in violation of this policy will be subject to appropriate
disciplinary action, including dismissal from the Academy without a refund
of fees paid.

The Music Academy intends to provide an environment that is pleasant,
healthful, comfortable, and free from intimidation, hostility, or other
offenses which might interfere with an individual’s employment, education,
or performance. Harassment of any sort—verbal, physical, visual—will not
be tolerated.
Harassment can take many forms. It may be, but is not limited to: words,
signs, jokes, pranks, intimidation, physical contact, or violence. Harassment
is not necessarily sexual in nature. Sexual harassment may include
unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, other verbal or
physical contact of a sexual nature when such conduct creates an
intimidating environment, prevents an individual from effectively
performing the duties of his or her position, or when such conduct is made
a condition of advancement, either implicitly or explicitly.
This policy covers all year-round and temporary employees of the Music
Academy of the West as well as fellows, faculty, guest artists, and patrons.
An individual who experiences harassment or becomes aware of an incident
of harassment, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must
report it to the Dean. When the Music Academy becomes aware that
harassment might have occured, it is committed to take appropriate action,
whether or not the complainant wants the Music Academy to do so.
All reports will be promptly investigated with due regard for the privacy of
everyone involved. Anyone found guilty of harassment will be subject to
severe disciplinary action or dismissal without a refund of fees paid. The
Music Academy will not retaliate against any individual who makes a good
faith report of alleged harassment.
The Music Academy accepts no liability for harassment. The individual who
makes unwelcome advances, threatens, or in any way harasses an
employee, fellow, faculty member, guest artist, patron, or any other
individual on Music Academy or on the Westmont campus is personally
liable for such actions and their consequences. The Music Academy has no
obligation to provide legal, financial or any other assistance to an individual
accused of harassment if a legal complaint is filed.

note: Please be sure to program an ICE (In Case of Emergency) contact
name and phone number into your cell phone. This will help someone help
you in the event that you are involved in an emergency. For example, in
your cell phone address book, the entry could read: “ICe sister–Suzanne
805-555-5555” to reflect your desire that your sister should be reached in
case you’re in need of help and are unable to make a phone call.
