TCCC SuMMER STRING CAMP

CAMP 2023

August 14-19, Reif Performing Arts Center,

Grand Rapids, MN

Our music camp activities focus on nurturing the individual potential of participants and ownership of their art, providing a safe and supportive environment for creativity and expression, developing team-work skills, and an understanding of music as a universal language, accessible to all. Our aim is to engage our existing and future students into creating their own artistic community, one that they will be proud of and to which they will want to belong. In addition, diverse and international backgrounds of our faculty combined with their worldwide experience as teaching artists, will serve as a tool for increasing the general awareness of the importance of art, enrich, inspire and educate the participants in the context of cultural diversity.

TCCC camp offers a combination of instrumental training, workshops based on innovative teaching methods (Harvard University Pretexts), group activities focused on the integration of arts, and performance opportunities. Special events include exhibitions of participants' artwork created during the camp, masterclasses with guest artists for advanced students, workshops for parents, etc.

NEW in 2023 - COMPOSITION CLASS with a special guest faculty, dr. Matthew Honas.

“In the composition class, students will learn foundational composition skills to learn how to shape the sounds around them through art, notation, and experimentation through play! Designed for children at any level, students will learn how to make melodies, harmonies, perform new music, and to begin creating their own works.”
