Welcome to Hyde Park Allegro Music Camp 2026!
Greetings!
Thank you for visiting our Website! HPAMC will be celebrating its 16th anniversary this summer! Our focus is to teach children who are enthusiastic about exploring musical interests in an engaging, nurturing, relaxed, and safe environment. Prior musical training is not required to enroll in HPAMC. We will focus on our tradition of presenting one-hour hands-on introductory instrument sessions. We will also be introducing the hurdy-gurdy instrument this summer. Campers will move by learning Morris Folk Dancing and will learn rhythms and collaboration while playing in the handbell and percussion ensembles. Campers will also enjoy musical games which will reinforce music theory, learning about different composers and musical periods and styles. We will cap off the week with a tour of the carillon on the University of Chicago campus and relax with a movie.
Camp duration will be one week, August 10-14. Camp hours will be from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm with drop-off beginning at 9:00am. HPAMC will return to Church of St. Paul and the Redeemer in east Hyde Park.
All sessions will be taught by our wonderful Chicago area musicians and teachers who are dedicated and experienced professionals. Please don’t hesitate to e-mail [dlfpiano@me.com] if you have any questions.
Many thanks and hope to see you this summer!
