Book​ ​Blast​ ​is​ ​a​ ​4-day​ ​camp​ ​that​ ​meets​ ​for​ ​2​ ​hours​ ​each​ ​day.​ ​It​ ​focuses​ ​on​ ​learning​ ​new​ ​material,​ ​passing it,​ ​and​ ​then​ ​reviewing​ ​through​ ​the​ ​use​ ​of​ ​games.​ ​On​ ​top​ ​of​ ​that,​ ​we​ ​spend​ ​the​ ​extra​ ​time​ ​doing​ ​creative activities​ ​that​ ​really​ ​stretch​ ​the​ ​music​ ​muscles.

​

I've​ ​noticed​ ​some​ ​huge​ ​benefits​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Book​ ​Blasts​ ​and​ ​I've​ ​received​ ​positive​ ​feedback​ ​from​ ​parents,​ ​as well:

​

*​ ​Kids​ ​love​ ​the​ ​fact​ ​that​ ​they​ ​don't​ ​have​ ​to​ ​practice​ ​at​ ​home​ ​during​ ​this​ ​week...​ ​They​ ​come​ ​to​ ​the​ ​camp, practice​ ​with​ ​me,​ ​and​ ​then​ ​relax​ ​for​ ​the​ ​rest​ ​of​ ​the​ ​day!

​

*​ ​It's​ ​the​ ​right​ ​balance​ ​of​ ​work​ ​and​ ​play...​ ​each​ ​hour​ ​is​ ​divided​ ​up​ ​into​ ​group​ ​interaction,​ ​learning​ ​new songs,​ ​and​ ​review​ ​games.

​

*​ ​I've​ ​found​ ​that​ ​two​ ​hours​ ​of​ ​games,​ ​creativity,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​little​ ​practice​ ​is​ ​"just​ ​right"...​ ​you​ ​wouldn't​ ​believe how​ ​many​ ​times​ ​I​ ​hear:​ ​"It's​ ​time​ ​to​ ​go​ ​already!?!?!?"

​

*​ ​Students​ ​really​ ​stretch​ ​their​ ​creative​ ​muscles...​ ​we​ ​write​ ​music,​ ​have​ ​fun​ ​with​ ​ear​ ​training,​ ​and​ ​play music​ ​hangman​ ​(a​ ​favorite​ ​that​ ​students​ ​always​ ​ask​ ​for!)

​

*​ ​I've​ ​seen​ ​students​ ​move​ ​through​ ​8​ ​weeks​ ​(or​ ​more)​ ​of​ ​material​ ​in​ ​just​ ​four​ ​days...​ ​Students​ ​feel​ ​a​ ​huge boost​ ​of​ ​confidence​ ​and​ ​motivation​ ​for​ ​making​ ​BIG​ ​gains​ ​in​ ​such​ ​a​ ​small​ ​amount​ ​of​ ​time!

​

The​ ​Book​ ​Blast​ ​is​ ​perfect​ ​for​ ​beginner students​! 

​

The​ ​Book​ ​Blast​ ​meets​ ​for​ ​two​ ​hours​ ​each​ ​morning.​ ​All​ ​you​ ​will​ ​need​ ​to​ ​do​ ​is​ ​drop​ ​off​ ​at​ ​10 am​ ​and​ ​pick​ ​up at​ ​noon. The cost is $220.
