Summer Camps
Each summer, we offer a variety of week-long camps that each focus on a different instrument: guitar, hip-hop, voice, percussion, piano, rock band, and strings. Camps are open to students of all abilities, including beginners.
Students study technique, rhythm, and music theory while learning performance pieces and preparing for the final recital. Additional activities include choir class, live guest performances, and art activities. Camps are offered on a sliding scale depending on a student’s eligibility for their school’s free and reduced lunch program. Prices range from $225-$425/week at a sliding scale.
