Program Highlights
- One week of concentrated musical study can have a huge impact. Campers will advance their skills and feel energized and musically inspired by their camp experience all year long.
- The highlight of the week is campers performing what they’ve learned together in a concert for friends and family.
What you’ll learn and experience
All of the USF Discovery Academy experiences are designed and taught by USF educators. Campers will get to experience life on a college campus and hone their musicality.
Our City Strings Ensemble Camp provides experiences that encourage campers to grow both musically and personally. Campers will:
- Boost self-confidence. When you transition from mastering notes and rhythms to creating beautiful music, you’ll feel a deep sense of accomplishment.
- Gain a more sophisticated level of coordination. We’re talking about enhanced hand-eye coordination, refined body posture, and improved control of both thought and movement.
- Gain teamwork skills. In the world of music, every note contributes to the symphony, and every musician is a crucial part of the ensemble.
Program Outcomes:
- Advance musicianship skills
- Learn music theory
- Develop a personal practice for continued growth
