SUMMER STRINGS CAMP

The Summer Strings Camp for middle school students provides interested and talented students opportunities for more intensive study on their instruments.  In an atmosphere of “Summer Camp”, the focus will be on technique, improving tone, and fundamentals of music.  The program is open to strings students.  Students must sign-up in the area in which they are currently enrolled and must have the orchestra director’s recommendation. The program fee is $50.00 which includes the cost of methods books.  Students may register at their current school between May 1 and May 16.   Bus transportation will be provided to Norfolk residents.
