Piano Camp for High School Students Planned

Fairmont State University's Community Music Program will hold its 13^th annual Piano Camp from June 14-19. New to the camp this year is a high school residential camp for rising 10^th-, 11^th- and 12^th-graders.

High school students who are considering music study at the college level will get a taste of what it is like to study and make music full-time in a college facility. The camp will include music theory, music history and ensemble classes, daily private lessons with camp faculty and guest artist recitals each evening. The camp will have a student showcase recital on the final evening for families and friends.

Rising 10^th- and 11^th-grade students who are from GEAR UP schools should go through GEAR UP's summer camp program to register. All other students' cost for residential camp is $400 and for day camp is $250. 

Contact Dr. Mary Lynne Bennett, Assistant Professor of Music, at (304) 367-4179 or mary.bennett@fairmontstate.edu to register for the high school camp. Deadline for registration is May 15.
