Excellent instruction by master music educators!

Campers, ages 13-18, participate in several intensive days of flute study, from Sunday, June 25, 2023 to Thursday, June 29, 2023. The camp culminates in a demonstration performance for family and friends on Thursday, June 29^th at 4:00pm.

FOCUS: exploring how core principles can improve anything you are playing, then adding expression through engaging and creative approaches. Fun and challenging for any level and playing ability. Playing will noticeably improve.

All campers participate in chamber music groups and flute choir. The camp is open to junior high school and high school age flute players. All participants receive individual instruction, as well as small group instruction. Campers are grouped according to age and ability and spend several hours each day in chamber music rehearsals working with faculty and staff coaches. There are also afternoon recreation activities including a low ropes course (team building).

Placement Auditions are done virtually before camp starts, usually a week before, to place everyone in an appropriate chamber music level. Campers should be prepared to play a variety of scales and an etude or solo of their choice. Campers should also expect to sight-read a selection that will be made available at the audition.
