Dear Parents,
Is your student starting Band or Strings this fall? This camp is for you! Schools are great at introducing instruments to students, but they simply don’t have enough time – through no fault of the teacher – to let the kids truly explore which the best instrument is for them.
Sign up for our Exploring Instruments Camp and let your child explore the instruments. Your student will have the opportunity to feel what it is to be successful on each instrument so they can make a well-informed decision of what instrument is best for them. In this weeklong interactive camp, students will get to spend an entire day learning about and playing on each different instrument: Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, & Strings.
We hope you’ll join us.
Designed for incoming 5th graders and up who will join band or orchestra for the 1st time in the fall. Ages 10+.
