A message from camp director; zac smith

Performing and playing music has a positive influence on the lives of youth, giving valuable skills that stretch beyond the bounds of music into facets of everyday life. The opportunity to learn and become confident as a musician, to understand the language of music, and to perform in front of audiences and peers are all areas we feel are important to developing young musicians. Giving confidence, an understanding of the fundamentals, and providing a creative outlet for aspiring artists in a fun and exciting environment, is the vision we have for The Collective Sound. Intensive musical training and emphasis on live performance are aspects of musicianship that we strive to make available to our students.
