Class Descriptions

DIFFERENT LEVELS OF EDUCATION …

… FOR DIFFERENT LEVELS OF MUSICIANS!

Here is a brief description for each class taught during the camp. As we have temporarily shortened the duration of the camp for this virtual edition, there will not be 4 simultaneous lessons as usual, but rather three successive one hour lessons each day. Exceptionally this year, we will focus on intermediate and advanced levels. Do not worry! If you are at the beginner or expert level, you will find what you need there since we have adapted our courses. Note that you must have a minimum of 2 years of experience with your instrument to be able to follow the courses.
