Summer Music Programs

I bought a Groupon for my son to attend this camp three years ago. Little did we know the incredible positive impact it would have on his life. Chet and Greg are fabulous directors in every way. They clearly are great musicians but they also have a terrific understanding of adolescents and know how to empower every single student. This knowledge is passed to the camp counselors as well. The influence of one counselor motivated my son to take up a second instrument and last year he was able to play both instruments in concert. I watch my son’s level of confidence in his musical ability soar every summer. The friendships he has made are long lasting. They work together as a group in such a fun way that I don’t even think they realize the lifelong skills in teamwork they are gaining from this experience. I encourage every young musician to give this a try. It doesn’t matter if you’re extroverted or introverted as there is a place for everyone.

My son attended the Summer Music Program, playing guitar, and had a great experience capped off by the live concert in Love Park in Center City. The instructors were terrific and the entire week was a lot of fun. Highly recommended for both its musical instruction and confidence-​boosting.

We cannot say enough in support of Chet as a music instructor and the summer Music Program! Our son, now a college student, began guitar lessons with Chet when he was 12. Chet has the ability to quench the thirst for musical knowledge for both a 12 year old as well as a college student on both acoustic as well as electric guitar. Participating in the Summer Music Program, experiencing the recording studio and the weekly performance allowed for personal challenge, social interaction and growth. Our son is a better musician and a happier person because of Chet and the Summer Music Program! Naturally, we highly recommend it!

This summer will be the 4^th year my son has taken part in the Summer Music Program. He started doing 1 week & last year did 4 weeks. The instruction is top notch… Greg & Chet run a great program.
I like the idea of putting a bunch of kids together every week, with potentially different tastes in music and having them work together to find 3 – 4 songs they can perform at the end of the week. The concerts down in Love Park are really a highlight for him & for us as parents.

As a 4-​year attendee of Summer Music Programs, I have only positive things to say. The studios we recorded in were state-​of-​the-​art, the concerts were fun and challenging, and I learned a bunch of awesome music! Highly recommend.

I can’t say much about the whole school since we only worked with one teacher, but the guitar teacher Chet is awesome. He really understands kids and knows how to get through to them. He asked us what goals we had when we first started working with him, then he developed a program that they’ve been following with my kid for a few years now. He is the best guitar teacher my son ever worked with.
