Music & Culture Summer Camp: Music and Fun
The program is focused as a cultural and linguistic immersion in the musical world along with sports, languages and leisure activities that balance the intensity of instrumental activity. It is open to all levels and is a great choice as a prelude of the Summer Camp programme for young artists.
The teachers of the summer camp are final year and former students of the School, all of whom are chosen according to the School’s academic criteria. The supervisors, with a ratio of one supervisor for every eight students and all of them holders of the diploma on Leisure and Free Time, accompany and help students make them feel at home.
The programme divides students in groups. They spend half the day in our facilities for everything related to music and the other half at the Colegio Mayor Universitario San Pablo, where they take theoretical subjects, play sports and learn languages. Courses are taught in Spanish and English.
The programme is designed for students who are beginning to play an instrument and those with an intermediate level that want to get immersed, for 14 days, in a unique musical and artistic environment while enjoying leisure and sports activities.
A scholarship covering up to 40% of the program cost is available to interested students.
Target group
Beginner to intermediate musicians of 12-17 years old that want to improve their musical and cultural skills.
