During the Summer Break, students should enhance their school band experience through musical development. This creates musicians that are deeply passionate and possess a tremendous work ethic. A summer band camp can ensure that students build and shape their musical style and expression as well as overall knowledge of music theory based on what they learn. The goal of creating an innovative total musician helps student musicians focus and simplify concepts to move forward in their musical development |
Summer musical enrichment is a way to increase one’s experience.
