However, we know that many local schools lack music instruction; some children have never been exposed to classical music, and many parents lack funds for kids' summer private music lessons or even lessons at all. Yet, as chamber music lovers, many of us have experienced the formative value of summer music camps as youngsters first hand. Thus, we know that such programs improve our children's education and quality of life, help develop self-esteem, social and leadership skills, and provide a type of experience now all too rare in public education. These facts led us to establish the Monterey County Summer Music Program (MCSMP), a week long summer day camp (9 a.m. - 3 p.m.) for music students from local Monterey County schools, grades 4 to 12. It offers experienced coaching for strings, including: beginning instruction, intermediate string orchestra, and chamber music for advanced students. Monterey Symphony http://www.montereysymphony.org/index.htm The purpose of the Monterey Symphony is to bring music of high quality to the people of Monterey and San Benito Counties and to foster and encourage the appreciation of it by people of all ages.
