At FMC, every camper’s musical journey is celebrated. We welcome musicians of all levels and all instruments—strings, winds, brass, piano, voice, guitar, and more—creating a rich community where campers learn from each other in a non-competitive, supportive environment.

Each camper receives two private lessons per week (split between instruments if studying more than one), sings in choir, and participates in various ensembles. They also get to explore elective classes like composition, music theory, acting, improvisation, and beyond. Throughout camp, campers have the opportunity to perform both in ensembles and as soloists, sharing their growth and creativity with their friends and the camp community.

At Friends Music Camp, making music is about joy, collaboration, and expression—every camper’s voice matters.
