TOPS Summer Camps for Pianists

The TOPS program is open to young musicians from kindergarten through 12th grade. Students attending the TOPS camps have fun while spending an intensive week developing and enhancing their skills on their instrument, as well as their general musicianship. In addition to exposure to world-class teaching and performing, the camps cultivate an all-around appreciation for the world of classical music and the art forms of our culture. Daily activities include ensemble rehearsals, private, group, duet and chamber music lessons, technique classes, world music, drumming, master classes, music appreciation and music history classes, music theory classes, supervised practice, presentations and performances, entertainment and recreation, and tours of the Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton campus.

All camps take place on the Boca Raton Campus of Florida Atlantic University from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Tuition is $250.00 per week plus a $10.00 registration fee. Registration must take place at least one week prior to the beginning of each camp week.
