“A huge thank you is not nearly enough to express the gratitude we have to all of you for making this summer’s camp experience so very special for our sons….You provide an environment for children to learn, explore, express, take risks and mature musically without fear. It is their safe haven each summer to retreat to with other like-minded, passionate musicians in an environment that is encouraging and supportive all the while demanding compassion, respect, love and commitment….Thank you simply isn’t enough to express our deepest gratitude.” Parent – Summer 2014

“The wonderful thing about EUSMC is that it has exposed Alex to other school musicians, kids who truly love music and that has motivated and inspired him. Our school is small and there are not many kids who enjoy music as much as he does. So thanks! See you next July.”

“As a Foreign Service Officer living in Beijing, China, I was looking for a summer music camp for my 15-year-old daughter Gabrielle. By chance, I saw an ad for the Eastern U.S. Music Camp and contacted Mr. & Mrs. Brown. They were extremely attentive and responsive to any concerns we had because my daughter would be doing this on her own while we remained overseas. As it turned out, she was ecstatic about the experience, felt it had tremendously improved her oboe playing and is already planning to return next summer. My only regret is that I didn’t know about Eastern US Music Camp before.”
Father and U.S. Ambassador – Beijing, China
