Bach To Rock - America's Music School

Coed Music Day Camp

B2R's unique method is based on the knowledge that students learn best when they join together to play the music they like the most. That's why we use special arrangements of the music of our time and combine individual lessons with band instruction. Weekly "jam sessions" lead to Battles of the Bands and recording sessions in B2R Studios, our own professional recording facilities. B2R also holds regularly scheduled public concerts that encourage students to become seasoned performers. These creative group activities foster teamwork, build self-esteem and motivate students to perfect their musicianship through independent practice.

Each Summer Camp session meets for four hours per day, Monday through Friday. Morning (9:30 - 1:30) or afternoon (1:30 - 5:30) sessions are offered from mid-June through August. Winter camp is offered during the Christmas holidays and spring camp for one week in late March.
