Is anyone else starting to think about summer Piano Camp plans yet? Do you have any specific themes or ideas in mind? I’m tossing around the idea of maybe doing a theme with Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. I would pattern it similar to the Carnival of the Animals Piano Camp that I did several years ago. Ooh…actually, I just stumbled across a press release from last fall announcing that there is a new book in the Get to Know Classical Masterpieces Series, published by Schott, based on Handel’s Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks. Now that sounds like a good possibility, too. Ack! And they have Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons! Now I’m really torn! 
Any of these would make a good theme, I think. Maybe I should take a poll! What would you choose? I’ve embedded a poll in this post, so you can give me some input!
Boy I don’t know if I could vote because they all look good to me!
I have to say, they all look really wonderful! I’m voting for Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition this time — I guess if the camp were three weeks long, you could do all three!
Wow, tough call. Do you want to alternate between Romantic era and Baroque era or just however you want? I don’t have a piano camp yet, but during group lessons we study one composer a year, going through all the eras so they can get a sense of time, even though life speeds up in the late classical to romantic period.
Any way you choose, it looks like you’re set for the next couple of years.
