Music

Music can be found everywhere at Buck's Rock. From the sounds of a jazz or rock band rehearsing in the Music Shed, to the strumming of twenty guitars on the porch, to a song spilling from the Voice Shed, campers are surrounded by music. From classical to heavy metal, acoustic to electronic, campers can indulge in the style of music they prefer and have the opportunity to explore new ones.

As with all our Montessori-inspired programs, campers can enjoy the support of talented instructors while they explore music on their own terms to suit their interests. Our summer music camp ensembles include orchestra, choir, jazz band, and a cappella singing groups. Additional ensembles in chamber music, jazz vocals, and others are organized to allow the greatest opportunities for Music Shed involvement.

Guitar Snack is one of the Music Shed's most popular programs. Headquartered on Buck's Rock's Pavilion at the center of camp life, Guitar Snack not only provides instruction in guitar, but also helps campers form bands for performances.

Music Shed facilities include a large performance space called the Mushed, smaller spaces for piano and vocal rehearsal and the Drum Shed. All spaces are equipped with everything necessary for campers to fully enjoy their preferred form of music. Each session, campers and staff put on multiple musical performances, including the weekly Mushed recitals, Rock Cafe, and the huge Tribute Show!
