Course Detail: SSDC - SIUE String Development Camp
For string students at a Suzuki book 2 level and up. Students must be able to read music. You don't have to play pieces out of the Suzuki repertoire, just something at a similar level! Questions? Just ask us! Application includes registration form and a video playing sample (submitted via YouTube link), so we can accurately place you in chamber music groups, and plan for performances.
Five full days of instruction, total: $350! A day at camp includes orchestra, chamber music, private lessons for everyone, non-music activities, daily recitals, and Performance Zone.
We'd love to have you at camp this summer!
