LEARNING & DISCOVERY

Weeklong Summer Music Camps for Ages 4–15

Our weeklong summer music camps blend play based learning with structured music education, turning summer break into a season of creativity, fun, and musical exploration. Children ages 4–15 can choose from a wide range of programs—from early childhood music and singing to piano, rock band, musical theater, and electronic music production.

 

Led by experienced musicians and educators, each camp offers a supportive, inclusive environment where beginners and returning students can grow their skills. Whether your child is trying an instrument for the first time or preparing a performance, our programs focus on confidence, collaboration, and joyful musicmaking.

 

Weekly sessions run from late June through late August. Space is limited—early enrollment is recommended.
