Midwestern Music Camp
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were forced to move to a virtual format for our 2020 Midwestern Music Camp. Our 2020 camp was a resounding success, with over 1,900 participants from over 40 states and 6 countries!
While we look forward to resuming our in-person camp at some point, we will once again offer our virtual camp this summer. Thanks to the generous support of the Band of Angels program, our 2021 Virtual Midwestern Music Camp will once again be FREE for all participants.
Students will be able to choose from a selection of virtual clinics and masterclasses with our outstanding faculty, delivered via Zoom. Pre-recorded content available as well via YouTube.
The camp will be held on Monday, June 14 through Wednesday, June 16. Approximate times are 10 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time.
Parents will also have the option of paying for a private lesson for their student during registration for $30, which will be scheduled individually and delivered via Zoom.
Additional information and schedules will be sent to participants and parents in early June. If you have any questions, please email us at musiccamp@ku.edu.
