All students take two 25-minute lessons each week in their first instrument or in voice. While every effort will be made to honor student preferences for ensembles, placement in large ensembles is determined by auditions, schedules, and ensemble requirements. Ensembles rehearse regularly each week. Placement tests will determine musicianship section assignments. These classes may be cancelled due to insufficient registration.
Classes meet three times per week.
Each group rehearses two or three times per week. Students learn much about church music just by participating in daily worship, and for many, by singing in the Chapel Choir. Classes in church music, hymnody, and worship planning are offered three times weekly for those who want to learn more about music leadership in the church. All students accepted in the camp are eligible to audition without extra charge for a solo performance with the Symphony Orchestra during the concluding LSM Festival. Finalists for the live audition at camp will be selected from the tape auditions.
