EASTERN US MUSIC CAMP
Johnathan is on faculty at Eastern US Music Camp teaching private clarinet and saxophone instruction, while directing woodwind chamber ensembles and jazz combos. The Eastern U.S. Music Camp, conducted on the beautiful Colgate University campus in central New York State and beginning its 45th year, is designed to provide young people between the ages of 10 and 18 opportunities and enrichment in all areas of music. Each student designs their own schedule, participating in groups on one or more instrument and/or voice, all for one fee. Supervised sports, recreational, and social activities are also an integral part of the summer. This well-balanced program offers students the opportunity to pursue musical studies through individual, class, and group instruction and to perform a wide range of instrumental and choral works in weekly concerts and recitals. The total musical and social experience has made the Eastern U.S. Music Camp one of the most highly regarded summer music programs in the country.
