The week-long experience of learning, playing, and performing with all the kids sharing the same love for music, left a lasting impression. She didn’t want it to end and wished the camp would be her regular school. We pay to come to the camp, in return what she received is immeasurable and will help her for the rest of her life. She spends more time practicing, working on her theory and ear training at the conservatory. She is calm, happy, and grounded… I attribute this all to the fact she has violin in her life. And the camp is integral part of that. So thank you!
Hanging out with other kids who are excited about music, along with inspiring teachers, is a super-motivation to keep practicing and improving!
Build musical momentum and passion this summer!
