The curriculum covers music notation and digital composition, fundamental techniques, orchestration and insightful analyses of musical works. The camp culminates in a concert where students witness their creations brought to life.
AR Double Reed Camp: A Unique Learning Experience The Arkansas Double Reed Camp offers a one-of-a-kind learning experience for young musicians. Led by professors Dr. Theresa Delaplain and Dr. Rachel Frederiksen, students engage in daily classes covering repertoire, sight-reading, skills development, reed-making and chamber music. The camp concludes with a final performance featuring campers and instructors.
Marimba Camp: Intensive Instruction for Percussionists The U of A Summer Marimba Camp provides intensive instruction for percussionists, particularly focusing on four-mallet marimba technique. Suitable for beginners and experienced players alike, the camp includes group classes, small ensemble work and individual instruction.
