Announcing....SUMMER MUSIC CAMPS


This summer the Preparatory Department will offer three music camps during the first two weeks of June. The annual “Summer Sings” returns this year June 2-6 with a Beach Party theme, featuring music and activities of the islands and oceans. Returning for a second year is “Adventures in Music”, June 9-13, for budding composers and instrumentalists entering grades 2-5. For students entering grades 6-9, this year we’re adding “Music Alive” the same week, for young musicians to develop their creativity through composition, improvisation, and more advanced music software. Click HERE for an information/registration form for all three camps.
