String Workshops

 

The CMC Atlanta Performance and Production Catalog offers several different opportunities for string players. Players can sign up for a Performance Workshop that will emphasize playing in small ensembles. Stylistic options include classical chamber music, jazz combo, rock or fusion band, and more.

Other String Workshops and Camps focus on educational experiences for a specific age or level of skill and experience and skill development. For example, our String Rookie camps are ideal for beginners or players who have a bit of experience or ones who are rusty from a gap in studies. , Advanced Chamber Music and Strings Now! (which focuses on strings and technology), is designed for passionate players who want to gather with other advanced students to pick up new skills and insights.

Day Pass

Sometimes parents don't want or need to enroll a student in full or half day camp for a full week.  In this situation, we offer Music School Day Passes, which allow for a day of camp attendance on chosen days:

  • Full Day Pass, $95 per day, drop off begins at 8 am, pickup ends at 6 pm
  • Half Day Pass $75 per day, morning or afternoon 

To purchase Day Passes, simply fill out the Day Camp Registration Form and choose from among the Music School Day Pass options provided.  

After making your payment, you can register to use the Music School Day Pass for any day, in any camp, at any location for up to one year, with limits.  IMPORTANT!  Please note:  Music School Day Pass spots are limited and offered on a first-come-first-served basis.  Spots are reserved by purchase, payment and then completion of the Music School Day Pass portion of the Day Camp Registration Form.  With rare exception, we require 24 hours notice of a parent's intent to use a Music School Day Pass.  The more advance notice you provide by completing the form, the more likely it is there will be a spot open for a student.  You should assume that your enrollment dates are accepted once you receive a confirmation message from a CMC Atlanta Director or authorized faculty member.
