Music camps are especially popular during the summer months, giving students a valuable opportunity to immerse themselves in a musician’s lifestyle of practicing, learning, and creating. Grosse Pointe Music Academy is offering two weeklong summer camps designed to provide budding musicians with the time, space, and structured environment they need to develop their skills and musical creativity.
With extended class times each day, students can make significant strides in their practice habits and overall musical ability. Throughout the week, students will focus on their primary instrument while also exploring the following key musical subjects:
Music Theory
Music theory isn’t just “theory”—it’s a practical system for naming, understanding, and organizing notes, chords, scales, rhythm patterns, and more. Learning music theory helps musicians write their own music and communicate effectively with other musicians.
Composition
Writing your own music is an attainable and rewarding skill for any musician. Campers will be introduced to the fundamentals of songwriting and composition, useful for players of all instruments and vocalists alike.
Practice Techniques
Yes, we’re talking about practice! Anyone serious about improving in music knows that regular practice is essential. At camp, students will develop smarter practice habits, helping them turn effort into ease and enjoy the process of growth.
Performance Skills
The thought of performing for an audience can be nerve-wracking for many. Through guided activities and performances, students will learn techniques to stay calm, focused, and confident in front of an audience—valuable skills that go far beyond music.
Music History and Appreciation
Listening and learning about influential musicians from the past deepens a student’s understanding and connection to music. Campers will explore the evolution of music and appreciate the legacy left by iconic composers and performers.
Improvisation
Improvisation helps musicians make quick, creative decisions while playing. Students will practice improvising in a fun, supportive setting, enhancing their musicality and spontaneity.
