More About Camp
Summer Music Discovery Camp
July 12-16 & August 16-20, 2010
9:00am – 3:00pm
We are excited to invite you to the Victoria Conservatory of Music for the 2010 Summer Music Discovery Camp taking place in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. This 1 or 2 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
