Summer Chamber Music

NEW! PIANO FOUR HANDS CAMP

We are excited to offer a camp for piano students this summer! The Piano Four Hands Camp will give piano students an opportunity to experience making music with friends. In addition to daily lessons on their duet, students will have the opportunity to dive into musicianship and composition with our musicianship teacher, Evan Johnson. On the final day of camp, we invite parents to an informal performance showcasing the student’s work. 

Students will be paired with another student of similar age and level and repertoire will be selected in advance. Students are expected to prepare their part at home before the camp begins. 

Dates: Monday-Friday, July 10-14 from 1-4pm at our Upper Westside location, 218 W 72nd St. 

Cost: $485 (apply by June 1st for a 10% discount)

To apply, please fill out this form. Students not currently enrolled in private lessons at Silver Music are asked to submit a video file or YouTube link of a recent performance to silvermusic@silvermusic.org. In the email, please include your name, camp that you are applying to, and the title/composer of your piece. 

 

INTRODUCTION TO STRING ENSEMBLE CAMP 
For string students who can read music, this program will place students into groups with more than one student per part. This is designed to introduce students to the skills and experience of playing in a multi-part ensemble, while having the support of an instrumental section. In addition to daily coaching, students will participate in musicianship activities that build skills fundamental to playing chamber music (listening, sight-reading, communication, teamwork, etc.). The week culminates with a performance. 

Repertoire is carefully selected to both challenge and inspire young players. Music will be assigned and distributed prior to the beginning of camp. Students in Suzuki books 2-4, learning to read music, and without previous chamber/ensemble experience are encouraged to apply.

Dates: Monday-Friday, August 28-31 from 1-4pm at our Upper Westside location, 218 W 72nd St. 

Cost: $485 (apply by June 1st and receive a 10% discount)

CHAMBER MUSIC CAMP
This full day camp is for intermediate/advanced string or piano students who are strong readers. String students should be in Suzuki book 4+. Students will be grouped into trios and quartets with one student per part. The daily schedule includes extended coaching sessions, recording and practice strategies, a short time for independent or guided practice, and other activities meant to develop the skills that are fundamental to chamber music (listening, sight-reading, communication, teamwork, etc.). Our week culminates with a performance. Students will bring a packed lunch to enjoy in our courtyard. In the case of inclement weather, we will have plenty of space to spread out while eating indoors. 

Repertoire is carefully selected to both challenge and inspire young players. Music will be assigned and distributed prior to the beginning of camp.
