Westminster Conservatory of Music is set to offer a wide array of camps and activities for children age 2 through high school this summer.
This year’s offerings include three new programs: Summer Orchestra Week, Summer Band Week and Jazz Starters Camp.
Summer Orchestra and Band Weeks are designed for band and orchestra students in grades four through six who started studying an instrument in school and would like to continue playing in an ensemble during the summer.
Students enrolled in the program will receive a small group lesson each day to prepare them for a large ensemble rehearsal. Campers will share what they’ve learned by presenting a concert the final day of camp.
The Jazz Starters Camp is for students in grades five through eight. The half-day program is an opportunity for children with no prior jazz experience and who want to explore how to play jazz on their instrument. The program includes small group lessons, as well as specialty classes in jazz history and theory and drumming.
Additionally, the conservatory is set to offer camps that are popular with students from throughout the region. This includes early childhood camps for children between age two and grade four, instrumental campus for students first through eighth grade, solo and chamber performance camps for sixth through 12th graders, jazz camps for fifth through 12th graders, and musical theater camps for first through 12th graders.
Programs are offered at the main conservatory location on the Westminster Choir College campus and John Witherspoon Middle School in Princeton and also at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton.
In addition to its summer camps, the conservatory also offers a flexible summer schedule of private instruction in piano, voice, strings, classical and electric guitar, woodwinds and brass, as well as Suzuki piano and violin.
Discounted tuition is set to be available through May 15.
