I recently conducted a Holiday Music Camp open for all my students to attend. About half of them did, the rest were enjoying holidays (we have 6 weeks of holidays over the Christmas break in Australia).
I haven’t done something of this magnitude before with my students, but they like to suggest things to me that they might like to try, and getting together in groups over the holidays was one of them.
I will put in separate posts what I did with each group just in case you would like to re-use some of the material or gain some ideas for your own studio.
I kept it very low key and informal and as low cost as I possibly could. Most of the games I already had printed out, and as I really had no idea exactly how many students were going to turn up, I didn’t stress and spend too much time on the whole thing. I did put enough preparation time into it of course to ensure if was going to run smoothly.
Over all, it went really well. Students said they really enjoyed it, and smiles and laughter were had by all.
