“Adventure Camp offered my daughter a great mix of different ways for making music. She thrived being among so many people, adults and kids, who care about music the way that she does.” — Adventure Music Camp parent
“The final concert was awesome. I was particularly impressed with the gamelan performance–the kids definitely exceeded my expectations!” — Adventure Music Camp parent
Spend a week at Eastman making music with people just like you- who love playing, learning, and creating, all in a supportive and fun environment. This is an exciting day camp (commuting students) for students entering grades 5-9 (current grades 4-8). We meet daily, Monday through Friday, from 9am – 4pm with activities that include ensemble rehearsals (band and string orchestra), music and movement, percussion (for all), and World Music. On our final day, we will show off the results of our adventures to friends and family in a performance!
This program is for students entering grades 5-9 that have at least two years’ experience on their instrument and are playing at a NYSSMA level 2 or Suzuki book 2 or higher. A teacher’s letter of recommendation is part of the application so that appropriate music can be selected for the ensembles. No audition necessary. What is required? A great attitude and a desire to explore the world of music!
This program will meet in person, and all precautions will be taken to insure proper distancing and safety for all students.
Instruments accepted are bowed strings, winds, brass, and percussion.
Not included this year are voice, piano, guitar, or harp.
