Camp Cryptogram - Composing for Kids

Camp Cryptogram is a one-week music composition camp for piano players ages 9-14. Students will learn to code their names and other secret messages in music and write a melody based on those messages. They'll learn basic composing techniques to develop their work into a polished composition, culminating in a "world premier" performance of their pieces for a live audience, and a professional, published copy of their work to take home. Leveraging composition games, teamwork, and experimentation with sound and style, this camp is ideal for students who want to explore and create their own music.
