2026 Orchestra Boot Camp

Join us for our 2026 Orchestra Boot Camps and build a strong foundation for your string music journey!
Designed for absolute beginners, this camp starts with no prior knowledge required. By the end of the week, students will have learned basic playing techniques, a handful of songs, and everything they need to confidently continue in our school-year orchestra classes. Each class is two hours daily. Homework will be assigned each day.

Boot Camp 2 is designed for those with more than 1 year of playing experience, but are still in their early playing experiences.

Cost: $150

Enrollment is limited to 10 students per class—reserve your spot today!
