FEATURED EVENTS

MacPhail's Piano Camp inspires students to try new things, expand their musical knowledge, and elevate their playing to the next level! Students will enjoy making new friends while exploring topics that are rarely covered in weekly piano lessons: ensemble playing, composition, music theory, arranging and accompanying, and more! Students will be placed in small ensembles to prepare a piece to perform at the end of the week.

Here's your chance to be a party of a fun, exciting piano camp for elementary piano students just like you! Get to know other young pianists your age while working with them in small and large ensembles. Learn to create your own music for the piano or how to play chords along with songs you hear on the radio. Showcase what you learned in a performance on the last day of camp. Minimum requirements: Students must have at least one year of piano instruction to enroll in this camp.

Come to the Mississippi waterfront to play music, get creative, bake bread, and construct books all while looking at how water connects our creativity! Children can enjoy new experiences each day at four top arts centers, including the Guthrie Theater, Mill City Museum, Minnesota Center for Book Arts, and MacPhail Center for Music.

Brass Camp gives students the chance to perform with superb musicians from MacPhail's brass faculty during a fun week of stimulating challenges intended to build understanding, develop technique and foster an aspiration to mature musicianship. The camp is designed for students who want to stay musically active this summer and be ready to hit the ground running as a leader in next year's school band.
