Summer Study Guide
Summer music camps provide one of the best ways imaginable to get away from the concerns of daily life. Think of spending your days concentrating solely on the joy of making music, while discovering new friends and enjoying the beauty of a country setting. Sound better than fighting commuter traffic and worrying about this week’s dinner plans? That’s why so many string players, be they professionals or amateurs, adults or children, find that a week or more of concentrated study during the summer brings incalculable inspiration and refreshment. There’s another advantage: summer camps reflect the fact that today’s string players are interested in more musical genres than they can shake their bows at. Not only is there a seemingly endless supply of classical-music programs—whether you’re interested in solo work, chamber music, or the orchestral repertoire—but there are also burgeoning opportunities for the string player who wants to try something new, from jazz or fiddle styles to a new playing technique. The days or weeks spent in a summer music program are focused and intense, but the rewards they offer are enduring. Search through our extensive, updated Summer Study Guide listings for the program that will bring out the best in you and your playing. Choose a Region: U.S. : Midwest | Northeast | South | West
