Meet The Team
Camp Leaders
Our team of music educators are professional, qualified, and experienced tutors. They are passionate about providing children with fun-filled musical education.
​
Each camp will be staffed by multiple teachers, camp leaders, group leaders and helpers, all of whom are specialists in various aspects of music. Our teachers are carefully selected to facilitate the widest range of musical experiences, from multi-instrumentalists to conductors, rock musicians to composers, choral singers to operatic soloists.
The Sounds Good! Music Camp enriches children of all ages with the love of music.
