Students entering grades 6 - 9. Experienced specialists lead young musicians through a fast paced workshop of small group instruction, music theory and exposure to musical styles from classic marches to jazz to rock. Students develop their own technique and appreciation for solo and ensemble performance. A final concert is presented for family, friends and the community on the last day of camp. Students must provide their own instruments (except percussion and large instruments) and have completed at least one year of instruction. Campers attending full day must bring a lunch.

While all student travel experiences have fundraising opportunities to support the trips, we know these costs are great. The time to start saving is NOW! Our partnership with Huntington will allow you to start a Student Travel Savings Fund now.

Your savings today will give your student the experience of a lifetime in high school! To start your student’s travel fund, contact Brandon Tufts at Huntington’s Fairmount Circle branch at 216-515-0285.
