Posted by Fred Steiner on June 23, 2016 - 6:13am

ONU's Piano Camp (July 25 - 29) is accepting registrations for pianists ages 6 - 14. 

Music can be used to tell stories of all kinds. From folk songs to symphonic poems, music can be a powerful language to communicate a narrative.

This year, our campers will explore composers who have told stories through their works. They also will learn ways of creating dramatic effects to tell a story at the piano.
