Penn State summer music camp; express yourself video
Welcome
If you are a student who has completed 8th grade and who loves
music, wants to study music with outstanding teachers, and experience college life at one of America's great universities — this is the camp for you. You will have opportunities to meet
other talented student musicians and learn from the best — Penn State's music faculty and guest artists. We offer experiences in band, orchestra, choir, jazz, and piano, plus much more.
Former campers have used words like "inspiring, professional, life-changing, and fun" when recommending Penn State's music camp to other students. I hope you'll consider this great summer
music camp. I think you'll be glad you did.
