Summer Music Camps


Each year, the Piano Studio of Joy Morin offers a few summer music camps to students of all instruments, levels, and ages.  A music background is not required to attend the camp, although it would be beneficial.  You do not have to be one of Joy’s piano students to attend these camps, so please join us and invite your friends too! 

Current Students: As you may recall from the Studio Policies, students have two options for the summer months (June-August): (1) students ages 6-12 may participate in a camp each month plus take 5 lessons scheduled approximately every other week around family vacations; or, (2) students may continue weekly lessons (10 total) as normal.  Students who choose to continue lessons as normal are welcome to sign up for 1, 2, or all 3 summer camps on top of their lessons if desired, at a special rate of $60/camp. 

***Information regarding the 2012 Summer Music Camps is here!  Scroll down to learn more.  Registration will open in March/April.***

2012 Summer Camp Offerings


JUNE 11-14: Musical Olympics!   
This camp is designed to get students experiencing and learning about music through movement activities and team games like Rhythm Toss, Musical Hoops, Rhythm Splash, and the Musical Alphabet Relay.  On the first day of camp, campers will be divided into two teams that will compete for the gold medal throughout the week!  Campers -- be sure to wear your swimsuit under your clothes, because there just might be a game involving water planned for each day of camp!  

     Tuition: $75 if paid before June 1 or $90 if paid after June 1. 

Note: Campers attending the Musical Olympics camp in June will be outdoors for most (if not all) of the activities, and the weather might be hot, so please dress appropriately!  Tennis shoes, swimsuit (under clothes), baseball caps, sunscreen, etc. are encouraged.  

JULY 9-12: So, You Want To Be A Composer? 
During this composition bootcamp, campers will gain inspiration and tools for composing their own music!  Students will examine the creative process of a famous composer each day, and then create/notate their own composition in a related fashion.  For example, the French Impressionist composer Claude Debussy was inspired by colors, so we will learn to notate a composition using various colors of paint!  In addition to individual work, there will also be opportunities for improvising and composing as a group throughout the week.  Students will also craft a musical instrument to take home each day.  

     Tuition: $75 if paid before July 1, or $90 if paid after July 1. 

AUGUST 6-9: Music History Blast From The Past!
During this camp, we will be traveling back in time to get a glimpse into the lives of the great classical composers.  Each day, we will focus on a time period from music history and create a scrapbook page of pictures/notes to take home.  As we study the composers we will be not only listening to the music of each time period, but also looking at the instruments, clothes, and art of each time period in order to make the past come alive.  Campers will be sure experience the thrill of a blast from the past during this music history camp!  

     Tuition: $75 if paid before August 1, or $90 if paid after August 1.
