Meet other young musicians who love playing piano, and make music together at Piano Camp!
As pianists, we often practice and perform alone. In this camp, you'll explore collaborating and playing with other musicians while learning to share ideas and interpretations. Campers work together on repertoire throughout the week, and perform duets and solos for their family and friends at the end of the week.
Led by a fun and enthusiastic teacher, this course will push your piano playing to its next level!
This one-week camp wraps up with a presentation for family and friends on the final Friday afternoon of camp. Further details on this presentation will be provided in camp welcome emails.
Prerequisite: Student should be able to play at RCM Level 2 at minimum, and be able to read music fluently and play hands together. This camp is appropriate to players between RCM Level 2 and 5. If you're not sure of your playing level, please talk to your teacher or consult our Celebration Series, Sixth Edition: Piano Sampler to see excerpts of piano pieces for Levels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
