Dana School of Music announces Summer Music Camp dates and registration

YSU’s Dana School of Music has announced that it will hold its annual Summer Music Camp beginning Sunday, June 8, through Friday, June 13, on YSU’s campus.

Open to both middle and high school students, this immersive program offers young musicians the opportunity to develop their skills under the guidance of esteemed Dana faculty and guest artists. Tailored for instrumentalists and vocalists alike, participants will benefit from masterclasses, ensemble rehearsals, private lessons, and performances designed to enhance musicianship and artistry.

The camp is structured to accommodate students of varying skill levels, from those just beginning their musical journey to advanced players preparing for collegiate studies.

“Our Summer Music Camp is a fantastic way for young musicians to refine their technique, expand their repertoire, and collaborate with peers who share their passion for music,” Joe Carucci, director of the Dana School of Music, said. “We are thrilled to provide a supportive and inspiring environment that nurtures creativity and artistic growth.”

In addition to intensive music instruction, students will have the chance to experience campus life at YSU, participate in engaging workshops, and enjoy evening activities that foster camaraderie and community. The camp will conclude with a final showcase concert, where students will perform for family, friends, and the public.

Registration for the Summer Music Camp is open now through Friday, May 30, and spots are limited. Tuition for the week is $260, with residential room and board available for an additional $260.
