The only music
camp in the state to offer instruction exclusively by resident university
faculty will be held June 19-25 at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
Camp COFAC-Music is
for students entering grade nine through the first year of college. It is
sponsored by UW-Stevens Point Continuing Education and Outreach and the College
of Fine Arts and Communication.
Camp COFAC-Music gives
students a minimum of four hours a day in concentrated study of their primary
“major,” which may include: voice, piano, guitar, piccolo, flute, oboe,
bassoon, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, euphonium, tuba, violin, viola, cello,
double bass or percussion. Activities
include daily master classes, warm ups, group lessons, chamber
ensembles, supervised practice time, opera and musical theater workshops for
vocalists and reed classes for clarinet, oboe and saxophone.
Camp counselors
are UW-Stevens Point music majors who will help lead evening activities, such
as a talent show and faculty/counselor recitals. The camp closes with a final
concert on Saturday morning, which families are encouraged to attend.
The camp cost is
$575, which includes classes, meals, lodging, music and evening social
activities. For more information or to register, call 715-346-3838 or visit www.uwsp.edu/campcofac.
