Guitar Camp
July 20–August 1, 2008

New this year: Two-week program

At Guitar Camp, under the direction of James Day, serious high school guitarists of all levels come together for a week of great music! Study with an award-winning performing artist and teacher to explore this multi-faceted instrument, improve your playing, learn new skills, and develop practice strategies necessary for successful performance. High school guitarists will be joined by seventh- and eighth-grade day-camp participants in a variety of classes and activities.
Daily Schedule

Morning classes lead guitarists through technical improvements, workout routines, and give personal attention to students’ repertoire and playing. Afternoon sessions include fingerboard harmony, explorations of style and history and a daily session of guitar ensemble. Evening activities will include faculty recitals and Princeton outings. The program will conclude with a group concert to showcase student talents in solo and ensemble settings.
Prerequisites

All guitarists, any style, are encouraged to apply! Students should have a year or more of guitar playing experience. It is also preferable that students possess basic music reading skills. A brief audition on the first day will assess students’ current level to ensure the student is provided with appropriate material and ensemble parts.

Enrollment is open to students entering 9th grade through those who have com¬pleted their senior year.
