*Please review the class description and see if your student's experience fits in with what will be being taught. These classes are aimed for beginners, but violin students, I suggest at least a small amount of experience. There will be NO time to tune the violins or viola before class, except for a quick tune. If you do not know how to tune your student's violin or viola, you will need to contact me or they will not be able to participate. Instruments need to be out of the case, tuned up, shoulder rest on, bow tightened appropriately BEFORE class begins. Again, if you need help with this, please message me outside of classes. 

*I absolutely will need to see the student to teach them properly, some students like to hide from the camera, and that will not be acceptable in the class because proper learning of the instrument will not be accomplished. I need to see their faces and their hands please! This counts for all classes!

My teaching style, is I explain the music and the songs, and then I play a demonstration on my instrument. The the students will take turn playing the songs. They will have many chances to ask questions or play songs multiple times. We will continue the songs until they can reach the best of their ability until the class is over. Some students will pick up the songs faster than others, but any exposure to learning an new instrument is a good thing. Most of my students excel pretty quickly!



Thisl online music camp is constructed for Monday through Friday, July 22nd-26th 2024.
How the camp works I will teach 3 classes a day. The first class is called Class A, and it is a 50 minute class teaching the violin or viola, followed by a 5 or 10 minute break. The second class is called Class B, and is for everyone, the first 25 minutes being music theory, a 5 minute break, and then other 25 minutes is a few rounds of a fun game I play with students called Music Bingo. The final class of the day is called Class C, and is for piano/keyboard.
This is because not all students want to do both violin and piano, some just want one or the other.

You can pick between A,B, and C, with the price set. Or choose A and B, or B and C. Those classes will be discounted because you only be taking 2 classes a day and not three. I will provide the discount code for that, here on Outschool.

There will be 2 camps offered next week, Monday-Friday 9am-12pm or 1pm-3pm.
There is a discount if you are only doing 1 instrument, violin or piano, instead of participating in both classes. Remember everyone has to take the music theory class which is in the middle hour. 

The discount code for only one instrument is NICKIECAMP1INSTRUMENT100,if you use the discount code, you will not be able to participate in all 3 hours a day.

If you miss a class, you do not get refunded or a discount, but you can review the recorded class UPON REQUEST, and I can even supplement you with an extra instructional video if you are absent for a day of camp due to whatever reason, or in the off case of severe technical difficulties. I suggest using a computer or laptop for this class using the "Original Sound for Musicians" option in Zoom, but tablets are acceptable.
