An opportunity for your student to encounter strings with a low-commitment day camp.
NOTE: APPLICATIONS ARE FOR WAITLIST ONLY

Due to high number of applicants for this program, we are now waitlisting students. Please be aware that if you fill out the application, you are applying to join the waitlist and there is no guarantee of admission. Thank you for your interest!

Our no-tuition Intro to Violin Camp is designed for students going into 3rd-4th grades (though students both younger and older are welcome to apply), giving them the opportunity to learn to play a string instrument—IN A WEEK!

Thanks to generous sponsorships from community members passionate about strings education access, we're able to offer this camp tuition-free, with only a $25 instrument rental fee.

Over the course of a week, in only an hour a day, students will learn:

• the parts of the instrument
• rhythm and basic note reading
• how to hold the bow
• and even start playing their first real tunes!
