I switched things up a little bit this summer and headed down to Vero Beach, Florida for the Mike Block String Camp. This is an all-ages and all-levels weeklong program where string players gather to attend tune classes, form bands and arrange tunes for a performance at the end of the week. My band, Burn it Down, was an absolute blast to work with. We were all freelance players and teachers from all over the US AND Switzerland. We performed a tune called “Flickflach” by Henriette Flach. I always find that I can improve my own teaching when I learn new things. The camp itself was a super fun and enriching experience with awesome, friendly, gifted faculty who were so enthusiastic about coaching and sharing their knowledge.
