This workshop will aid the potential music major in preparing for a successful music audition at a college or university. It also will give basic music theory, music history, and music technology information to music students so they will be better prepared for music entrance testing at the university level. In addition, the camp will offer private music lessons (for an additional fee) in several select areas of performance.
