NewSong Camp participants are still noting just how much they were impacted by the theory classes, ear training, and improvisation groups this winter. These opportunities simply are not found through private lessons and other year-round ensembles, but they are essential for complete development of any singer/instrumentalist. We have seen that there is a need to continue these studies NOW to build on camp's foundation and welcome in new people, so we are providing an altogether new opportunity this spring . . .
