Summer Music Discovery Camp
August 11-15 & 18-22, 2008
9:00am – 3:00pm
We are excited to invite you to the Victoria Conservatory of Music for the 2008 Summer Music Discovery Camp taking place in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. This one or two week-long summer camp lets children ages 7-12 explore exciting options available in music in a fun and educational setting. Often, this is a child’s first hands-on exposure to classical music and gives them a chance to discover which aspects of music resonate most with them. This is a wonderful opportunity for children to try playing a variety of instruments before enrolling
in lessons or a school band program. Children have the opportunity to sing in a choir, participate in musical theatre and learn two different instruments per week. All instructors are high-level professional musicians with strong
backgrounds in both performance and teaching.

Instrument Choices
Students choose two of the following per week:
• Flute
• Clarinet
• Trumpet
• Violin
• Cello
• Classical Guitar
• Piano
