Music Camps

2024

Of all the things to do during school breaks in Los Angeles, why is music camp an excellent choice for your children?

Santa Monica Music Camp provides a sequential curriculum, where with each additional week of participation, students learn the next musical level up. With 15 hours of playing and a performance every Friday, many campers achieve in one summer (10 weeks) what would traditionally take them 1-2 years to accomplish in a once or twice-weekly school class.

Music camp is also a great way to introduce and explore different instruments, to get a first-time introduction, or develop skills in reading/playing and performing music. In general, camp is a healthy way to inspire kids to develop a musical talent they might not know they have. After many years of fine-tuning our methodology and camp day, Santa Monica Music Camp has become a uniquely organic way to develop, excel, and nurture a lifelong love of music.

At Santa Monica Music Camp, your child will enjoy playing music 3 hours per day plus a music theory class, all in a 6-hour summer camp-style environment that includes outdoor play, electives of sports and arts/crafts when requested, movie time, and healthy snacks.

Expect great musical improvement with the support of our expert teachers and staff within a week of a camp, and enjoy a showcase concert every Friday demonstrating what they’ve learned. Campers leave with a feeling of accomplishment, a stronger love and understanding of music, and new friends.
