EXPLORING INSTRUMENTS CAMPS - Each summer we host multiple session of our Exploring Instruments Camp. It is our goal to help you by giving in-coming band and orchestra students interactive time on each instrument. Students that participate in or Exploring Instrument Camp get a full hour on each instrument learning how to hold it and get a proper sound. At the end of each instrument session the students can all play a simple song. By the end of the week each student has had extensive time interacting with the instrument options allowing them to better select which instrument they want to play. We have found that students who participate in this program tend to have better success long term on the instruments they choose and tend to stay in band or orchestra longer.
SUMMER CAMPS & CLASSES - In addition to our Exploring Instruments Camps in the summer we also offer a full ranges of summer camps and classes that are designed to support your program and keep the student playing through the summer months.
