This program is designed for intermediate level students looking to explore music beyond their one-on-one lesson experience.  String students start the day with orchestra/large ensemble learning repertoire that includes fun and popular musical themes (such as Star War).  Piano students work in piano ensemble and chamber groups.  Smaller groups will form chamber ensembles rehearsing and working together with a coach acquiring chamber music skills.  In the afternoon, students will participate in an enrichment class of drumming or fiddling.  A final concert will take place on July 21 at 5pm. 

Note: Students receive 3 hours of supervised instruction between 9am and 3pm.  During the non-instruction hours, students are expected to practice individually or in their chamber groups.  parent supervision may be necessary for younger students.
