There are many exciting opportunities for music students to develop their skills over the summer. Camps and workshops are offered at every price point, and many organizations offer scholarships. As we find out about various programs, we will post them here as a resource for families. Musicians are also invited to jam at Romeo’s in Lynnwood once a month throughout the year, including summer. See the EWHS Music Calendar for dates.
