The Meadowmount School of Music, founded in 1944 by Ivan Galamian, is a 7-week summer school in the town of Lewis (mailing address Westport) in Upstate New York for young violinists, cellists, violists, and pianists training for professional music careers.[1] The students receive instruction in chamber music and solo performance techniques, practice four to five hours per day, and attend masterclasses, studio classes, guest artist workshops, Alexander Technique, and yoga. The campus contains a dining hall, student lounge, infirmary, practice cabins, faculty studios, a concert hall, performance space, recreation areas (tennis, basketball, soccer, table tennis), and student dormitories. Field trips, hiking, and off-campus events are also offered. Concerts are held three times a week and feature students, faculty, and/or guest artists. Master classes are held daily.

The campus in Lewis was originally the home of suffragist Inez Milholland, who spent summers there on her family's property.
