Instrumental Music at Ballibay
Ballibay's instrumental music program is terrific for advanced students, beginners, and campers wanting to try an instrument for the very first time. Our experienced teachers work with students on most string, brass and woodwind instruments. For campers wanting to try the violin, flute, trumpet, clarinet, or saxophone for the first time, we have instruments available on campus. Most experienced players will bring their own instruments to camp.
Students can schedule several private lessons per week. Campers can work with classical, jazz, popular and Broadway music, and our instructors are available to teach theory & harmony, improvisation, and many other aspects of music.
All campers studying instrumental music are encouraged to perform, and there are many opportunities; there are several Camper Cabarets each session, and a major Showcase and/or Concert. Instrumentalists also play at art exhibitions and before mealtimes. There are also many opportunities for instrumentalists to perform in rock-n-roll band nights in horn or string sections!
