For the student without prior experience
StringTime Guitar Camp is perfect for students who want to try the guitar. Show up on Day 1 of camp without ever having touched a guitar and play in a concert on Day 5. Students will learn fundamental guitar techniques, some chords, basic melodies, and have the tools necessary to continue learning. (Please note: This camp is not designed for students who already take private guitar lessons)
Our Program
Private Lessons
Every student receives individual and personalized instruction from one of our professional faculty members.
Music Theory
Camp days include classroom sessions that introduce and reinforce essential music theory concepts such as rhythm, note naming, chord basics, and tablature.
Music History
Students are taught about famous composers, guitar players, the history of guitar musical style, and the evolution of the instrument.
Ensembles
Students learn to work and play with others in small and large ensembles. They develop listening skills and improve concentration.
Games
StringTime is tons of fun! We understand that students will need a break from the classroom. We design games and listening exercises that help reinforce skills learned at camp.
Faculty Performances
In order to inspire the students, our top-notch teachers demonstrate difficult techniques, perform classical and modern music daily, and play alongside your children.
Camp ends with a concert!
