BookBlast Camp FAQS

What is BookBlast?????

It’s​ ​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.

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

*​ ​We’ve​ ​seen​ ​students​ ​move​ ​through​ ​8​ ​weeks​ ​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!

*​ ​Kids​ ​love​ ​the​ ​fact​ ​that​ ​they​ ​don’t​ ​have​ ​to​ ​practice​ ​at​ ​home​ ​during​ ​this​ ​week…​ ​They​ ​come​ ​to​ ​the​ ​camp, practice​ ​with​ ​the teacher,​ ​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.

*​ ​We’ve​ ​found​ ​that​ ​two​ ​hours​ ​of​ ​games,​ ​creativity,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​little​ ​practice​ ​is​ ​”just​ ​right”…​ ​you​ ​wouldn’t​ ​believe how​ ​many​ ​times​ ​we​ ​hear:​ ​“​It’s​ ​time​ ​to​ ​go​ ​already!?!?!?”​

*​ ​Students​ ​really​ ​stretch​ ​their​ ​creative​ ​muscles…​ ​we​ ​write​ ​music,​ ​have​ ​fun​ ​with​ ​ear​ ​training,​ ​and​ ​play games!

This is an activity your whole family can enjoy – students work independently at their own pace and level. You have the convenience of a great summer activity for everyone without running all over town!

Remember – students choose their own focus. Some ideas:

• Get as far in your lesson book and earn as many Achievement points as you can
• Bring in your favorite Disney music to work on
• Work on skills outside of the ordinary routine of lessons, such as improv, playing from chord charts etc
• Bring in a specific challenging song you want to focus on (one student learned Fur Elise last year)

What is the cost?

​$230 if you are using this as a replacement for summer lessons.

Only $200 ($30 off) if you attending camp in addition to summer lessons!
