The Piano Bench –
This was perfect timing! I’m doing a movie theme next year. I won’t use this as a camp but as individual parties throughout the year. I love that it is broken down into hour segments and think my students are going to love the silent movie plans. Thanks!
Jennifer Foxx –
What a GREAT idea Lori! That will be perfect too! Enjoy!!!

I just completed this workshop with my middle school piano students. I used quite a bit of Jennifer’s lesson plans but also added some ideas of my own. Jennifer was very thorough in these plans and there is so much material that it is difficult to get through it all. This is a GOOD thing because it allows you the freedom to choose what works best with your students. We had a blast during our workshop. Each day zoomed by and before we knew it, parents were at the door to pick up the students. I highly recommend this camp as a unique and fun alternative to a regular piano camp.
Jennifer Foxx –
Awe! Thanks Renee, I am so glad you found it useful. Great to hear your workshop went well! Thank you so much for your feedback!

Brilliant! I’d like to use this resource as a whole this coming summer, but it was great this past summer to help with a video making camp I did. Excellent resource.
Jennifer Foxx –
Wonderful! Thank you!
Valerie E. –
I have great plans to use this in my summer camps for 2017!

I’m new at doing camps and workshops, so having everything laid out for me is exactly what I need. Jennifer has thought of EVERYTHING for a successful camp/workshop! Thank you for your thoroughness and creativity!
Jennifer Foxx –
Oh Tracy, I’m so excited for you! Your students are going to love this camp! 🙂 Have fun!
Tammy P. –
I know I can count on Jennifer’s work to be top-notch and well-planned. I purchased this camp as I was trying to decide which one(s) to do this summer with my two different age groups. This year my students really need rhythm work so we’re going in a different direction. But this was not a wasted purchased! On the contrary! Now I have a great camp to thoroughly enjoy planning another time. My students will LOVE this camp someday soon! Thanks, Jennifer, for your creativity!
Jennifer Foxx –
There is always next year to look forward to. 🙂 Thanks so much for all your support Tammy!
Lindsay J. –
Used resources from this packet as a springboard for a soundtrack composition project with 6th grade. There are so many possible ways to use the resources here- very good!
Jennifer Foxx –
Wonderful Lindsay! So glad you found it helpful! The composition project sounds awesome! Thanks for your feedback! 🙂
Jennifer H. –
I can’t wait to use this for a piano camp I am hosting this summer. So much information and put in a fun way! I plan to pair it with some composition writing the students will do and maybe we can create a mini movie using the techniques used in the movies. I can also see using it in the classroom setting for a composer series next year as well as for talking about music composition and appreciation. Thank you!!
Jennifer Foxx –
Oooh yes! Great ideas. So fun! Let me know how it goes. Thanks Jennifer! 🙂
Genny R. –
This is a great workshop! I have never had a workshop garner so much interest in such a short time. I am only doing a three hour day camp, and now I am wishing I had offered a longer one because it’s hard to choose between all the great activities!
Jennifer Foxx –
That is awesome! A good excuse to add a part 2! 🙂
Chantal N. –
Merci pour le beau matériel
Jennifer Foxx –

Jennifer S. –
Great!
Jennifer Foxx –
Thanks, Jennifer! Hope your students had fun! 🙂
Magical Music Theory –
All my pupils thoroughly enjoyed doing this music camp. I managed to split the areas of work into 2 different levels and use it with different age groups. There was more than enough content in here to be used for 2 hours, for 3 days, and split between 2 groups.
Jennifer Foxx –
Yay!!! That is awesome, Stacey! So glad it worked well for you!

This entire package set the scene for my entire studio year even down to the recital and summer camp! I love how I can rotate these packages for yearly incentives. Makes my year planning so much easier!
