If a composer could say what he had to say in words, he would not bother trying to say it in music.
Gustav Mahler
( an Austrian late-Romantic composer, and one of the leading conductors of his generation, 1860-1911)
In this four-day camp, students will enjoy a four-hour group program of music theory, music-making, arranging and conducting.
This year’s workshop will be held on Tuesday thru Friday, July 26th – 29th, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m..
If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.
Albert Einstein (a German-born theoretical physicist
who developed the general theory of relativity, 1879-1955)
In this four-day camp, students will enjoy a five-hour group program of music theory, practice and music-making.

MUSIC MAKES THE BRAIN GROW
In the April 23, 1998 issue of Nature, Researchers at the University of Munster in Germany reported their discovery that music lessons in childhood actually enlarge the brain. An area used to analyse the pitch of a musical note is enlarged 25% in musicians, compared to people who have never played an instrument. The findings suggest the area is enlarged through practice and experience. The younger the musicians were when they started musical training, the bigger this area of the brain appears to be.
In this four-day camp, students will enjoy a four-hour program concentrating on composing and arranging music.
