Curious what it is like to attend AAM strings camp? Check out these highlights from camp last week! Sophia Lassiter

This week, our String Camp Orchestra is celebrating two outstanding New Jersey composers and educators: Cooper Ford and Jennifer Meckler.

Both are high school orchestra directors who are deeply committed to string education, and we’re grateful to share their music with our campers. This week, our orchestra is performing ā€œPrecipiceā€ composed by Cooper Ford. Yesterday campers had the wonderful opportunity to work directly with Cooper during a special workshop. After coaching small groups, he conducted the full afternoon orchestra—a memorable experience for everyone involved.

Today’s camp recital will conclude with the beautiful ā€œVivaldi Summerā€ arranged by Jennifer Meckler, a work that brings together every level of our string camp. It allows our newest musicians to play alongside our most advanced students, creating a truly unified ensemble.

We’re proud to feature the music of these talented local composers who continue to inspire young musicians throughout New Jersey! Cooper Ford - Music Sophia Lassiter

This afternoon at strings camp Erika Sayar led an instrument maintenance workshop. This is one of the many benefits of the relationship between The Violin Doctor and Amadeus Academy of Music — students get direct access to and instruction from an expert luthier.

If you look closely you can see that the instruments were in pieces! Students learned about the different parts, how to reassemble and care well for their instruments. Thank you, Mrs. Sayar!

First day of strings camp was a success!

We’ve been a little quiet on social media because our team has been enjoying some summer adventures. Apparently, our students have too!

While flying out of Newark Liberty International Airport earlier this summer, Erik (from Erika Sayar’s studio) spotted one of the public pianos provided by Sing for Hope and couldn’t resist giving his spring recital piece another performance.

Turns out, memorizing your music has its perks—you never know when you’ll stumble upon an audience… or an airport piano! šŸŽ¹āœˆļø
