OUR INSTRUCTORS
MUSIC
Theme
Germany has been the epicenter of the development of music since Bach’s time. Since then, polyphonic ensemble music has been characteristic for many German composers, and this will also be the theme for our camp. Students will be instructed by experienced ensemble experts and taught the nuances of sharing in the creation of music.

Participation in local ensemble groups
German children play instruments largely out of interest and are not pushed by parents as they are in Asia: even though younger students are less technically proficient, by the time they reach young adulthood, German students are much more likely to become excellent musicians (and barring that, other well-rounded members of society). We aim to expose participants to this philharmonic spirit.
