Congratulations to the Hillgrove Festival Orchestra for their performance in Williamsburg, Virginia this past weekend.  Hillgrove brought home the trophy for Outstanding String Orchestra and earned an overall Silver Rating.  The trip was a great experience for everyone, and I am very proud of how our students represented our school and community.  Bravo!

Don’t Forget….

Be sure to check out the new links added to our blog. There are new links for local youth symphonies as well as summer music camp information.

If anyone is interested in attend a camp or workshop over the summer, now is the time to get the process started. There are many camps in the southeast, and several right here in the Atlanta Metro area.  Attending a summer music camp is an outstanding way to improve as a musician, with opportunities to study with professionals and to meet other students with similar interests.  I know that I will never forget my experiences at different music camps each summer.

Enrollment is limited for most camps, so if you are interested you should apply early. I will be happy to help you in any way…if you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call or send an email.  Making music is a great way to spend the summer…I hope you will consider attending a camp this year.
