TCCC camp offers a combination of instrumental training, workshops based on innovative teaching methods (Harvard University Pretexts), group activities focused on the integration of arts, and performance opportunities. Special events include exhibitions of participants' artwork created during the camp, masterclasses with guest artists for advanced students, workshops for parents, etc.
Our music camp activities focus on nurturing the individual potential of participants and ownership of their art, providing a safe and supportive environment for creativity and expression, developing team-work skills, and an understanding of music as a universal language, accessible to all. Our aim is to engage our existing and future students into creating their own artistic community, one that they will be proud of and to which they will want to belong. In addition, diverse and international backgrounds of our faculty combined with their worldwide experience as teaching artists, will serve as a tool for increasing the general awareness of the importance of art, enrich, inspire and educate the participants in the context of cultural diversity.

STUDENTS & PARENTS SAY
“Playing with other kids and learning from the teachers made me wish Strings Camp would last all summer long.”

“Every day during camp, [my daughter] came home excited to tell me all about her day and what she did and learned. As a parent it was wonderful having her work with such wonderful musicians. It truly was an amazing opportunity for my daughter and all of the children who attended camp.”
