Summer 2020 Update: Unfortunately, Summer Mini-Camps are postponed until further notice.
Summer Mini-Camps 2020
Creative Summer Mini-Camps are back!
What is it like to be a real recording artist? How exactly do we put our own musical ideas on paper for anyone to play? Who invented the piano, and could I ever invent an instrument? Creative mini-camps explore these questions and more with project-based learning. I am happy to provide this selection based on the growing popularity of studio class and group lessons, as well as parent requests for a good music camp that goes beyond the "try-it-out" level. This is our chance to celebrate a school year’s worth of piano practice, and engage with the music that is in our lives every day.
Details & FAQ
What
There are three different themes in rotation: Recording Studio, Composers Workshop, and Piano Band!
Where
All camps will take place at my home studio, reconfigured for camp mode:
Each Mini-Camp is Monday-Friday, 9:00-12:00 on the dates listed above.
Tuition
$260/week
Can I do the same type of camp more than once?
YES! Camps are project-based. If a camp is offered more than once and your child loves it, they can absolutely come back and do another project. A student who repeats camp may build their project into a nice collection such as a booklet of compositions or an album of recorded music.
Who is eligible?
There is at least one camp for every age and level. Most themes are easily adaptable to many experience levels. Students who are currently enrolled in lessons receive priority registration until February 29, after which I will begin accepting waitlisted and new students. If you have a friend who wants to join this camp with you, let me know!
Enrollment
Current students may enroll at any time using their My Music Staff login. (Need your login? Ask me.)
New students may sign up here.
Payment
Full tuition is due at the time of registration. Please read the full policy carefully before signing up for a mini-camp. When you register for one or more camps, you will receive an invoice for the amount due, payable online. Your place is not reserved until full payment has been received.
