Instrumental Beginnings: is designed to give the older campers who never played any music instruments before a chance to learn and master their silks in a short but fun and effective way.  It will promote development of skills of playing in an ensemble, learning to read music and exploring how sounds can be produced.

Master classes: is designed for more experienced instrumental students to participate in master classes and sectionals for their instrument as well as a band/string orchestra at their appropriate level of playing.

Vocal/Drama Classes: will focus on musical enjoyment through singing, speech and acting. The campers will have the opportunity to engage in solos and small ensemble singing as well as role playing. The program incorporates movement, props and choreography.

Art Classes : Art classes emphasize fun through doing art-related activities and include individual as well as group projects. There will be short term daily artworks as well as projects that may take all week to complete.
