The Campers taught by AMI’s award-winning faculty, strive to set out a foundation and love for music. The camp curriculum created the best aspects of music education and performance in mind. Daily, campers create and perform music with each other building upon the lessons they learn.
One of the highlights at the camp is learning the basics of music with music theory and history from Baroque to Modern to Pop/Rock. While students learn about theory and history, they also encourage students to create their own compositions by taking part in Composition Class. At the end of each day, students and faculty alike participate in the performance class. Additionally, all are encouraged to play their own compositions in the pursuit to learn from one another in an enriching musical experience, making music together.
