Welcome to our 2019 MNjcc Suzuki Summer Music and Arts Camp, now in its 10th year! We will run the camp from July 8-12 from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. It is open to all violin, viola, cello, and piano students who study by the Suzuki method. We offer all levels, from those who have learned Twinkles with fingers to beyond Book 8. We hope to share Shinichi Suzuki’s philosophy and nurturing approach to learning with all children and parents who attend. Along with a basic daily foundation of semi-private lessons and Suzuki group repertoire lessons, campers will also participate in 3 enrichment classes with a choice from the following list: theory, ukulele, drumming, fiddling, arts and crafts, composition, chamber music, klezmer, improvisation, “Music Through the Ages,” yoga, cooking, and pottery, and musical theatre. Campers will perform in an end of week concert featuring class demonstrations from many of our week’s activities.

To parents of children 10 years and younger, we encourage you to attend your child’s semi-private, and group class. If you are unable to do this, we will make sure your child has a “Suzuki Buddy,” (one of our responsible MNjcc Suzuki Program teens, and program grads) who will take responsibility for writing down the assignments and helping your child with their instrument.

Lunch will not be provided. Campers must bring their own lunch (nut free), snack, and drink. During the lunch-hour we will have use of the gym. The recently renovated salt water pool is available for our use, and we will again have a designated camp swim time this summer. Extended care will be available before and after Suzuki camp hours.
