On occasion an international study/performance tour is a part of the Summer Music School@PMP; it gives students touring experience, strengthens their bonds with fellow musicians in the program, and broadens their horizons through exposure to other young musicians in international settings. Additionally, the tour provides a concentrated experience that reinforces the Summer Music School@PMP's message of non-competitive artistic growth. International exchange programs benefit students in the following ways:

• Young musicians have a chance to take part in their first international tour, and get a taste of what might be like to tour professionally.
• Relationships with fellow Summer Music School@PMP students are deepened—relationships that will form these students' professional network as their careers develop.
