Hey everyone, it's Evan from West Music! Summer is just around the corner, and we're thrilled to announce our exciting lineup of Summer 2025 Music Camps right here in Coralville! If you're looking for a fantastic way to keep your young musician engaged, practicing, and having a blast with their instrument without the commitment of weekly lessons, our summer camps are the perfect solution.
For just $100.00, students aged 8 to 15 can dive into a focused, fun-filled week of music. Each 45-minute camp session is designed to cater to different experience levels. We have two fantastic options for each camp: one for those who will be starting band or orchestra for the first time next Fall or just started last year, and another for students who have been honing their skills for a couple of years. Unsure which camp is the best fit for your child? No problem! Just give us a call at 319-351-2000, and we'll be happy to help you out.
