Join young musicians ages 12-18 for a week of music learning and creating new music, July 12-16, 2026
Sessions Sun to Thurs, 10:30am to 4:30pm culminating in a fun performance for family and friends on Friday night.
Instruments taught: trumpet and brass, saxophones, clarinet, flute, wind instruments, piano/keyboards, drums and percussion, bass, saxophone, guitar, and vocal performance.
Students will be studying the fundamentals of music theory, composition, improvisation, learning new skills and technique on their instrument, how to perform, and are empowered to understand how to play and practice more effectively, and how to be the originator of music. Dedicated, eager young musicians will find great enjoyment in this week, but need not have years of experience (a year or so of solid playing is advised).
Make new friends while being mentored by some of the finest musical heavyweights today! Top-tier Faculty include: Richard Boulger, Ada Rovatti, Dario Boente, Rodney Jones, Alex Blake, Tony Lewis, and Jim Taft. We Are BAAMS! |
