Area students can enjoy full or half-day music instruction and performance opportunities at the music school’s location in Sarasota
Sarasota, FL – Once again this summer, local music school Music Compound is offering its music summer camp, which runs from June 2 through August 1, at its location in Sarasota (775 Bell Rd., Sarasota). Participants will enjoy a wide range of activities, from learning various instruments to enjoying group live performance opportunities.
Students in grades 1-12 are welcome; the camps are divided by age. Families can choose from full (9 a.m.-4 p.m.) or half-day (9 a.m.-noon OR 1-4 p.m.) options.
Some of the sessions offered for grades 1-5 will include “Intro to Music,” “Kidz Rock Band,” “Key to Piano,” “Musical Theatre” and “Strings & Things” (guitar, bass and ukulele). For students in grades 6-12, the sessions include “Modern Band,” “Improvisation on Keys,” “Drum Fills & Solos,” “Music Production,” “Jazz Band,” “Classic Rock Band,” “Modern Garage Band,” “Strings & Things” and “Songwriting.”
This year features offerings geared towards more advanced players in the older camp, including “Songwriting” and “Vocal Performance,” to help bolster skills and confidence for more serious performers. The 6-12th grade camp also presents band opportunities in several musical genres.
“Our Summer Music Camp is the perfect offering for kids who want to explore new instruments and music or get better in their chosen instrument,” said Music Compound owner Jenny Townsend. “Whether a student is new to music or has years of experience, there is an opportunity for everyone to learn, have fun, and find and feed their inner musician.”
Cost for the camps are $400/week for full days, $200/week for the half-day option; there is a $30 registration fee for all new campers. Early drop-off is available at 8 a.m. for $25/week and late pick-up is available at 5 p.m. for $25/week. For additional information, visit musiccompound.com/camps or call 941-379-9100.
