Workshops & Camps
Here you’ll find a list of folk music camps and workshops that are taking place (in some form or another). Support the camp you’ve been going to for years, or find a new one, now that everything is virtual! Get inspired by what camps are doing to manage through the pandemic.
Mike Block String Camp
Mike Block String Camp is an annual summer workshop for string players of all ages and backgrounds, focusing on non-Classical traditions and contemporary musical styles, with emphasis on learning by ear, creativity, collaboration, and performance. The faculty are currently brainstorming about creating an exciting/fun online experience for you that will combine level-based teaching in multiple styles with broader community-building experiences.
StringPlay
Join students at StringPlay Online, a summer camp based in Phoenix, Arizona, for a week-long (now virtual) exploration of musical creativity! Founded in 2013, StringPlay provides a fun, creative, and educational environment where students learn new musical skills and approach music in new ways. In our one-week camps, students learn a new fiddle tune by ear, fun accompaniment techniques like chopping and shuffling, improvisation skills, and more! StringPlay is open to violinists, violists, cellists, and bassists who completed grades 7-12 in the 2019-2020 school year.
