This trumpet camp is meant to be an exploration of basic trumpet playing concepts taken from Stamp, Chicowitz, Thompson, Black, and many others. Daily classes are taught in a group setting so that we all may learn from each other. Private lessons are available and suggested to enhance the student’s experience. Each student will have the opportunity to perform in front of his or her peers on a daily basis. Depending on interest, the camp will end with a recital for family and friends and each student is invited to play. The camp is open to all high school and talented middle school students.

Attracting talented young musicians from multiple states, this compact one-week camp offers exceptional opportunities to perform in a variety of ensembles: a full symphony orchestra, a string orchestra, two concert bands, a wind symphony, a jazz ensemble and several chamber groups. The atmosphere for young musicians is stimulating, combining as it does the challenge of performing with other motivated musicians, the experience of daily rehearsals and the opportunity for both individual and group instruction. In addition to performance instruction, the camp offers classes in basic musicianship for all levels, optional private lessons and daily recreational activities, all within the beautiful setting of the Furman campus. The week will be a memorable experience of musicianship and camaraderie

Ken Stanton Summer Group Lessons
Weekends
Session I, May 29 - June 27
Session 2, July 10 - August 8

Summer is a chance to do what you really want to do and this year Ken Stanton Music has introductory group classes for jazz, blues or beginning guitar, voice, theory, and even band dynamics (for learning how to work in a band with different instruments). We also offer master classes including Songwriting, Shaping A Solo, Advanced Jazz and Advanced Music Theory for experienced students who want to focus on a specific aspect of playing. Each course is just one hour a week for 5 weeks. These classes are discounted rates because they are groups, but the groups are no smaller than 3 and no larger than 8 students.
