HIGH SCHOOL PIANO CAMP – JUNE 22-26, 2008

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Department of Music at Texas A&M University-Commerce is pleased to

announce the 2008 High School Piano Summer Camp! This five-day program is

designed for high school piano students interested in immersing themselves in the world

of music learning and performance. In this non-competitive environment each

participating student will receive individual assistance to develop his artistry, overcome

his difficulties and achieve his goals.

Through an intensive schedule of lessons, supervised practice sessions, seminars,

master classes, and performance opportunities, students will receive guidance and

encouragement to advance in their musical careers. Enrollment will be limited to 16

active participants. Each participant will receive 2 private lessons during the five-day

program and have the opportunity to participate in master classes presented by guest

artists. Students will benefit from the morning seminars presented by the faculty and

guest clinicians. In the evenings, students will attend concerts presented by the faculty

and guest artists. The camp will conclude with a final performance featuring all

participating students.

A limited number of observers will be accepted to attend the program. Observers

will be able to attend all seminars, classes, and concerts, but will not be performing in the

master classes or final performances. Private lessons will be available for observers for a

fee of $30 per 30-minute lesson, depending on the faculty’s availability.
