WSU Horn Camp

About the event

Horn players will work with Dr. Martin King (horn faculty, WSU) and other outstanding Washington State University faculty members to improve their musical skills. This camp focusses on group techniques, horn ensemble, private lessons, and chamber music playing and coachings. Students may also have the opportunity to participate in large ensembles, jazz and rock techniques, music theory, history, composing, or conducting classes.

Campers also enjoy recreational activities such as picnics, indoor and outdoor games, dorm time, fun evening activities, concerts, and the use of the WSU Recreational Center. Staff for the Horn Camp provide 24-hour supervision.  Experienced counselors stay in dormitories with the residential campers.

This year the WSU Horn Camp will be offered conjointly with the WSU Summer Keyboard Explorations and the WSU Oboe Camp. This is a wonderful opportunity for horn players who want to come to camp with friends who are pianists or oboists. All camps participate in the same social activities, many of the same musical activities, and share the same dormitory. While participants in the Horn Camp will focus on solo and chamber music repertoire, techniques, and sound development, some collaborations may be possible with Summer Keyboard Explorations and Oboe Camp participants.

For 2019, the WSU Horn Camp will be expanding to offer a maximum of 20 spots for campers. Be sure to apply in advance of the May 17 deadline to reserve your spot.
