Hello Kealing Orchestra Families!
As we approach the summer break, I wanted to encourage any and all families to look into summer music camps for string players. As we know, a lot can be lost over the summer, especially when it comes to a skill-based endeavor like learning a string instrument. Having your child in a summer music camp can help students at any level of ability keep their skills up, have fun playing music in a new setting, and meet other string players and teachers. I have seen students grow so much as musicians and young people after attending a summer music camp, and find they progress more quickly in the fall and come back having had exciting musical experiences! Here are a few links to summer music camps in the area and around Texas. (Mr Jarrott puts in a special shout out for Texas State String Camp since he was a counselor there years ago!). Some registrations end around the end of the month, so take a quick look! Texas State String Camp http://www.music.txstate.edu/stringcamp/Registration.html Longhorn Music Camp https://lmc.music.utexas.edu/ Baylor Summer Music Camp http://www.baylor.edu/busmc/ Texas Lutheran University Summer Music Academy http://www.tlu.edu/about/community/summer-music-academy/ UNT Summer String Institute http://ssi.music.unt.edu/ I also have to plug the Arts Camp I was a counselor at in Interlochen, Michigan. A wonderful enriching program in a beautiful northern Michigan setting! http://camp.interlochen.org/summer-arts-programs There are probably other camps I am missing, but most major universities offer summer strings for beginner-intermediate-advanced players. If you find or know of another great camp, let me know and I can spread the word. Thank you!
