So many of you have asked "what solo should my musician play for next year's audition" and "what does my student need to do in order to move up to a higher ensemble."

Well here are all the answers:

CYSO INSTRUMENTAL BOOTCAMP FOR STRINGS!

Dates: July 29- August 2nd (Monday-Friday)

Times: 9:00am-Noon

Location: Metropolitan State University Arts Building

Price: $495 ($150 deposit due July 1)

DEADLINE TO REGISTER: July 1, 2024

This camp is based on skill level and by specific instrument (violin, viola, cello, bass...NEW THIS YEAR: ADVANCED ORCHESTRA TECHNIQUES CLASS/ this will be taught by Angie Dombrowski and will be a complete string orchestra setting/fun off the charts!!!) This will be a challenging and fun five day program.

Students should submit a short 2-3 minute video displaying their playing ability via email to cysomichelle@gmail.com.

We will be working with students to improve all the fundamentals: vibrato, counting, intonation, string crossings, and bow technique. We will cover everything. And your student will return to school ready to win that chair test  (and back to CYSO with a higher chair or orchestra placement). There is nothing better than hearing a student play with confidence and beautiful fundamental playing skills.
