The Eastern U.S. Music Camp is conducted on the Colgate University campus in beautiful Central New York State. This popular program, beginning its 35th year, is designed to provide opportunities and enrichment in all areas of music. Social and recreational activities also are an integral part of the curriculum.
The Eastern U.S. Music Camp has been recommended by teachers and students for 35 years. This well-balanced program offers young people between the ages of 10 and 18 the opportunity to pursue musical studies through individual, class, and group instruction; to perform a wide range of instrumental and choral works in ensemble and concert; and to participate in supervised sports and other informal "fun" activities. The program is designed to be a complimentary part of the growth and development of young people. Such musical training builds confidence, teaches concentration, offers social opportunities and helps develop sensitivity to, and pride in, the beautiful things in life. Careers in music are not necessarily the goal of students attending the Eastern U.S. Music Camp; the experience is one that will be remembered and valued throughout life in any career. The total musical and social experience has made the Eastern U.S. Music Camp one of the most highly regarded music programs in the country.
For 35 years, Thomas and Grace Brown have directed the Eastern U.S. Music Camp which is staffed by certified faculty and carefully selected and qualified counselors. Enrollment is limited in each session to assure students the opportunity for personalized and group instruction. Highly individualized instruction in a friendly atmosphere is stressed by the professional, nationally-known staff.
Students attend from throughout the U.S. During the 2009 Season, students attended from: Spain, Italy, Germany, England, France, Brazil, Venezuela, Singapore, Japan, China, Canada, Korea and the Netherlands.
