Brass Camp
Designed for rising middle school through high school students, the brass camp will focus on the skills and techniques unique to the trumpet, trombone, french horn, baritone/euphonium, and tuba. Students can expect to work on breathing, lip slurs, long tones, scales, and movement/stretching for musicians all in addition to playing daily in large and small brass ensembles. The camp will culminate in a Friday evening concert for friends and family.
