NEVR Beechworth Music Camp
Who goes to camp?
Music students from the NEVR region of country Victoria. Ranging in age from 12 -18.
WHY GO TO CAMP?
Skills Development
- Focused practice on their primary instrument with experienced instructors can significantly enhance technique and musicianship.
- Opportunities to perform in front of peers and instructors help build confidence and stage presence.
- Exposure to various styles and genres allows students to broaden their musical horizons and develop versatility.
Teamwork and Collaboration
- Working in groups teaches students how to blend their sound with others, enhancing listening skills and adaptability.
- Camp fosters friendships with like-minded peers, promoting a sense of community and shared passion for music. Building connections with fellow campers can lead to lifelong friendships and collaborations in the future.
What happens at camp?
The NEVR Music Camp runs for three days every year at The Old Priory Beechworth. During the duration of the camp, students will choose a main ensemble - Concert Band, Jazz Band, Contemporary Ensemble or String Ensemble. These ensembles will be lead by outstanding conductors and tutors from within the NEVR region focussing on developing skills, working towards performing in our Grand Concert on the final night at the Memorial Hall in Beechworth at 7pm. This is a free concert for all parents and friends.
Students will also come together in a massed choir lead to learn a contemporary piece to perform together as a finale.
The day is broken up into ensemble rehearsals, small tutorial groups and finale rehearsal.
On the first evening the students participate in a games night led by the year 12's and on the second evening, a talent quest. Students are given time in the afternoon to work with other students rehearsing an act for the talent quest.
Accommodation
Students are accommodated in small or large dorm rooms. During the registration process students are encouraged to nominate a friend to share a room with. Boys and girls are accommodated on different floors.
Drop off and pick up times.
There is a bus that transports students from Shepparton, Euroa, Benalla and Cobram. Please see your music coordinator if you are travelling from these areas. Other areas are required to make their own way to camp. More information will be sent after registration.
