Twin Cities Saxophone Camp
The Twin Cities Saxophone Camp is an intensive program of chamber music, master classes, and lessons for students in grades 6 - 12. All styles are welcome, as the course will focus on intermediate and advanced fundamentals of saxophone performance. The culmination of the program will feature a concert showcasing student soloists, chamber groups, and an all-camp saxophone ensemble. Following the completion of the camp on the 7th, all students and families are invited to attend an all-day Saxophone Day event at Schmitt Music Bloomington on Saturday, August 8th. We hope you will join us this summer!
