It’s time to start thinking about summer.

I know, I know, it seems so far off. But if any of you students are thinking about summer music camps or festivals, you should be checking things out now.

I used to have along list of camps and all, but I’ve decided that another site provides fine information for youth summer music camps. So check them out.

I might, in the near future, start posting info for college students. Some camps/workshops/festivals require CD submissions and some need them soon.

(Colorado College’s Summer Music Festival intrigues me because they provide full scholarships for all students. Who can argue with that? (The oboe coaches are Jeff Rathbun and Robert Walters from Cleveland Orchestra.) I receive their brochure each year at UCSC and SCU. Students must be 18 years old or older.)
