Now that school is out there is more time to practice!! Use the summer as an opportunity to really
improve your piano playing skills. Also, you might consider adding piano camp to your summer
activities.

Where should I go?

There are two places I recommend.

Monster camp at Plymouth State University and Summer Sonatina in Bennington, Vermont.

Before I tell you the details, I will answer the most important question first which is,
“Who else is going?”

Summer 2008: Eric, Duncan, Jaspar, Ryan and Andrew went to New Hampshire and Claire,

Alexander, Duncan, Mina, Rebecca, Daniel and Eric (see picture below) went to Vermont.
