Welcome to Summer at Hochstein and the wonderful array of offerings we have in store for you! Hochstein’s summer program provides an ideal time to explore something new or to keep those skills fresh for fall. Children ages 5 to 10 can take a fun-filled journey through music, art, and movement during three sessions of Arts in Action summer camps, each with a different theme. We also have two brand new camps – Elementary Wind Band Camp and Woodwind & Brass Chamber Camp – a new camp in Hochstein's Music Lab focused on writing songs and making beats, and new opportunities for young string players at String Chamber Music Connections this summer.

Fun with Music is a one-of-a-kind program, offering music education for kids 6-7 years old! This 10-week program gives students a strong foundation of early music skills. Plus, it gives kids the chance to try out a wide range of instruments before starting music lessons! Class duration ranges from 30 to 60 minutes.
