All Camps at The Friese Studio of Music
Our Early Education Music Camps offer a great introduction to the fun and excitement of music. The kids will experience music through games, movement, instruments, and singing. Each section is geared to the specific age group, with age-appropriate activities. The week will conclude with a group presentation of material learned.
Our master guitar instructor, Jaybone will totally engage the participants as they learn the mechanics of the guitar, create their own group and their own group name, write a song, practice it and present it at an end of camp performance.
For the rising 7th and 8th graders this is a great opportunity to brush up on band skills in a fun and supportive environment. The instructors are seasoned band directors. The week will conclude with a mini-concert of material covered.
The strings camp is taught by our own Laura Ingalls, covering all the mechanics of the instrument, and teaching the fundamentals of these beautiful instruments. The students will learn a song to perform at the end of the camp.
Our U-Try-It Camp is our most popular campas it provides an aopprtunity to explore and experience the different instruments typically found in a band setting. Each day covers a different instrument group: Woodwinds, Brass, Strings & Guitar, Piano and voice. Each of our instructors takes a day to teach their specific expertise.
Our Award Winning Show Choirs start off their season with a "boot" camp that kick starts the season into high gear. Participants will learnn the skill of harmoizing and developing stamina to sing and dance at a high level. Participants will work on the material for the upcoming season. This is an excellant way to become a member of the competition group.
