Pittsburgh Music Academy offers programs to help students stay sharp all year long, including the Summer. This Summer our students enjoyed our Greater Pittsburgh Suzuki Institute and the Chamber Music Intensive Camp both held at the state of the art, Shadyside Academy (pictured below).
The Suzuki Institute offers a wide choice of instruments and daily free parent education sessions. The emphasis on Chamber Mu- sic is somewhat unique and allows for a great deal of personal musical growth as well as fun for all who participate. The Cham- ber Music Intensive Camp is a day camp and geared toward ad- vanced students entering grades 7th-12th, who play the violin, viola, cello, piano and flute. Students enjoyed a full week of hard work and personal growth as a musician.
At the Pittsburgh Music Academy we also encourage our stu- dents to be involved in the betterment of their communities. We often put on shows for the enjoyment of our neighbors such as our Christmas in July concert in Market Square and our Com- munity Show for the residents of Friendship Village in August.
The girls have participated in the camp the last 2 years, and they particularly like the supervised prac- tice sessions the best. They like the time to focus and the great tips for productive, effective practice strate- gies. The music is always challenging yet enjoyable and accessible. Even after a long day at camp, they come out energized and excited about their day and ready to put the master class tips to work. They can’t wait
to do the camp again next year.
