ONU Piano Camp accepting students ages 6 to 14

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, June 23, 2016

ONU's Piano Camp (July 25 - 29) is accepting registrations for pianists ages 6 - 14. 

Music can be used to tell stories of all kinds. From folk songs to symphonic poems, music can be a powerful language to communicate a narrative.

This year, our campers will explore composers who have told stories through their works. They also will learn ways of creating dramatic effects to tell a story at the piano.

Campers will have the chance to tell a tale of their own by composing a piece that they will perform at the end of the week. They also will improve their own solo piece during daily master classes and play in a duet or trio, all featured in a recital on Friday.
