Camps

Since 1983, thousands of children have been musically inspired because of our exciting and unique music camp program. Offered to grades pre-K through eight, camp classes include ORFF (marimbas, metallophones, glockenspiels and other inviting percussion!), instrument building (making instruments that will not only sound good, but are treasured art pieces), instrument lessons (recorder, piano, guitar, harmonica, flute, saxophone and many more!) dance and movement, singing and musical theater. Students even present their own concert at the end of camp. Come find out why students return year after year! From beginners to advanced, this offers something for all levels of ability.
