Apply Now for Heights Summer Music Camp

Mark your calendar for the 6th Annual Heights Summer Music Camp, June 21-26, 2010, at Wiley Middle School.

Summer is a perfect time for busy students to focus on their interests. If your 5th-8th grader’s interest is music, now’s the time to sigh up for the 2010 Heights Summer Music Camp. It gives students in the CH-UH school district’s instrumental music program a chance to explore music in an intensive yet leisurely environment.

The camp helps students perfect skills and deepen their commitment to music, both of which help build on our district’s great musical tradition.

The Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District provides a home for the camp. Reaching Heights sponsors and organizes the camp: recruits and enrolls campers; recruits and manages the staff; solicits scholarship donations and awards camper scholarships; manages auditions and daily camp operations. Families provide camper fees, encouragement, commitment to music education, and their eager campers.

The camp meets daily for a week in June (June 21-26, 2010)  and ends with a Saturday morning finale concert. The daily routine includes two orchestra rehearsals, chamber groups, sectional rehearsals, music theory, and recreation and lunch breaks. Students also participate in one of three electives: chorus, jazz or guitar. The camp targets students in the district’s instrumental program ages 10 to 15 who have two years of experience with their instrument  or a year of private instruction. It is open to any district resident who meets the eligibility requirements. Up to 85 campers may participate.
