Description

NEW - Junior Strings Camp, Mill Bay! Located on the beautiful ocean front campus of Brentwood College. July 11th-15th, 2022. Ages 5-12.

The VCM Junior Strings Summer Camp gives students days filled with music, art, exploration, collaboration and outdoor fun! We will have three individualized streams of learning inviting a wide range of abilities, from those students picking up the violin or cello for the very first time to those playing in chamber music ensembles.

1. Beginners

Inviting students to come to camp and try the violin or cello for the very first time! Students will be introduced to basic skills on their instruments and take part in rhythm and ear training games, a group composition and perform in the final concert!

2. Music Readers

This level introduces students with some previous experience on their instruments to music reading basics, rhythms, rounds and chamber music skills. Music parts will be introduced and learned at camp. No advance preparation is necessary.

3. Chamber Players

This level is for students with previous chamber music or orchestral experience. Students will be assigned parts in advance to prepare at home. Focus will be on chamber music and ensemble skills. Repertoire will be more challenging and assigned in advance for preparation in advance. Minimum level grade 3 RCM.

All students (with the exception of beginners) are asked to provide a video of a short performance of a recent piece and current scale to ensure accurate group placement.

Video upload can be found on the VCM Strings Intensive program page.
