Music Camp (Ages 7+)

Our Music Camp is for everyone! This is a fun opportunity for beginners to try piano for the first time or for experienced students to be inspired and grow as musicians. 

Days are structured for students to learn mainly on the piano, with optional electives in the afternoon such as other instrument exploration and singing. Students develop a deeper understanding of music theory and ear training through breakout sessions and group activities.

Each week culminates in a Music Showcase in which parents and families are invited to attend.

All levels welcome.

Vocal Camp (Ages 10+)

With a focus on vocal technique and performance, students will learn how to grow in their individual vocal practice and become stronger and more confident performers. Students will gain independence by learning how to pick repertoire and ‘warm-up’ on their own. They will learn how to manage nerves and strengthen their presence on stage. Throughout the week, students will be working to showcase their new skills in a variety of musical genres: pop, rock, musical theater, and more!

By the end of Vocal Performance camp, students will…

• Have gained skills to manage their performance nerves.

• Be able to prepare themselves for a performance or showcase.

• Be able to take themselves through basic vocal warm-ups.

• Know how to use their body and physicality to enhance their performance.
