Hi Millie,
For us, we are looking for the best music camp experience to fill my
daughter's needs; cost, dates, location are all secondary factors.
In our case, she wants to pursue music performance (and music
theory!) as a college major. So the quality of instruction and
development of her skills are most important.
Now that she is in high school, we are prospecting colleges.
Attending a college summer camp program (if one is available) is a
great way to check out their music department from the inside.
Finding out what is available hasn't been easy. That's why we were
so excited to find this group! Once we have found appropriate
camps, hearing from students/parents that have experienced them
would really help in weighing a camp's cost vs. its worth.
That's our process.
Lynne
