This will be the first summer in a long time that I haven’t held a piano camp in my studio. It’s always so much fun to brainstorm and create a week of fun-filled music games and activities centered on a specific theme (although I think Carnival of the Animals will always be my favorite!). However, this year my students and I all decided that a break was the preferred option. 🙂
So, in lieu of my own to share, I thought I would round up some of the summer piano camp inspirations from around the web:
Joy Morin’s Summer Composition Camp looks fabulous! What a bunch of talented young musicians.
I haven’t seen a new piano camp at Sheryl Welle’s Notable Music Studio Blog, but she has tons of games to explore in addition to her well-loved Road Trip USA summer piano camp!
This isn’t specifically a piano camp, either, but I could see Wendy Steven’s Rhythm Explorations series being used as the main curriculum for a fun rhythm camp!
Here’s a helpful resource from Trevor and Andrea at Teach Piano Today on How to Use a Summer Piano Camp to Grow Your Studio.
Jennifer Foxx always does great projects in her studio, and has put together Let’s Go to the Movies, a piano camp/workshop where they learned about music in the movies and completed silent movie projects. Watch her studio blog for pictures!
Those are a few of my findings thus far. If you have or know of a summer piano camp that could inspire or be purchased by other music teachers, please share!

You just made me realize that I didn’t blog about my camp after I was done yet. So much going on! lol! I did a “Let’s Go to the Movies” camp with my students this year. We made silent movie videos and learned all about music in the movies. It was a blast. Here is link if you want to add it. I’ll definitely have to post about it too. 😉 http://bit.ly/1TUlDdW
