The WTAMU Chamber Music Strings Camp and Piano Workshop run during the same week. Both programs offer individual and group instruction and performing opportunities for young performers as well as great faculty performances and a lot of fun!
For strings, we invite you to star in your own chamber ensemble. Each group has its own coach to help you achieve the highest levels of musicianship. You will also have the opportunity to play in a chamber orchestra!
For all musicians there are Master classes, electives, recitals, and other activities led by a faculty of experts, including members of the Harrington String Quartet and other WTAMU faculty.
Elective classes are part of the daily schedule and add to our outstanding curriculum offered. Campers choose to participate in two electives, such as:
All-State Etude Preparation (strings)
Music and Technology
Composition and Arranging
Conducting
Music Literature/Repertoire
Music Theory
Technique Classes
