Beginning Strings
Make Your Heart Sing with Strings!
Imagine coming to camp on Sunday and you’ve never played a violin or a viola, a cello or even a double bass! How do I hold it? How do I make a sound? How do I read the notes?
Imagine getting first-class instruction from a classroom teacher who specializes in teaching beginners. Imagine a group class with a professional musician who will help you learn more.
Imagine the feeling when you get to work one-on-one or in small groups with a university student who probably wants to be a classroom music teacher!
Imagine how proud you will feel at the Camper Ensemble night when you actually play for all your friends.
Imagine the look on your parents’ face at the concert on Saturday when you play the pieces you’ve learned—in JUST FIVE DAYS!
THAT’s the kind of magic we create in our Beginning Strings programme, led by Kevin Merkley and assisted by several Music Staff.
The Beginning Strings programme is perfect for the camper who wants to try out an instrument for a week, for the one who has always wanted to learn a string instrument and for the one who wants a jump start in this immersion setting.
Students can bring their own instrument or rent one from us at a nominal cost.
Instruments available:
- violin
- viola
- cello
- double bass
Be sure to..... bring your music stand!
