We
will host the Stradivarius International Violin Competition String Camp this summer, from July 20 – 24 and 27 – 31, 2015. The camp is for Intermediate to Advanced students
ages 10 and up. Students will have a rare opportunity to learn from
high profile, distinguished coaches from symphony members, and local University professors. For six
hours a day, students will spend their time in a chamber orchestra,
small ensembles, etc. They will also have ample opportunity during the
day to practice their own repertoire and receive individual instruction
on a personal solo piece they are currently working on. Small ensembles
will include quartets and duets, and will be formed based on student
level. Students will also need to practice individually off campus to
better retain what they have been taught.
Students will hone their playing skills, learn and perfect new pieces, and gain a better understanding of the string world through daily lectures. These lectures will include effective use of practice time, performance psychology, how to prepare for competitions, applying to prestigious music schools, the history and making of violins, etc. At the end of the camp there will be a performance given by all students to demonstrate the skills and pieces they have learned. Students will also have opportunities to relax from the intensive work with group activities like barbeques, movie nights, concerts, and other events.
More information will be coming soon!
