Music Camps

OCSAC Piano Camp 2023 (Ages 8-13) 1-4pm

OCSAC Piano Camp will give opportunities to beginning and intermediate piano students that they normally would not have in a typical lesson. Students will be put in groups with students that are similar ages and performance levels to grow together in musicality and artistry. They will be challenged and enjoy playing for each other and in ensembles which include duet, trios, and piano orchestras. Under the guidance of trained musicians, they will learn and explore concepts and techniques in their piano studies that they will be excited to practice all summer. At the end of the week, their chamber ensembles and select students will be asked to perform at the final concert.
