All year long, students work extremely hard.
They make tons of progress!
Throughout the year, they develop their playing skills. Their confidence and pride grow after a year of amazing performances. They learn teamwork skills as they perfect music together as a group.
By the end of the year, they are on a roll!
Avoid the summer "slide" and keep your orchestra student playing over the summer.
Join one of three summer camps held at Bunker Hill Middle School. In camp, we will:
- Reinforce concepts learned in school during the year
- Build new musical skills and confidence
- Keep students playing over the summer
- Have a final performance at a local cafe
At the end of each camp, students will have further developed their musical abilities and character.

"My son was positively impacted because he had the opportunity to play with other students under the instruction of an excellent teacher. He looked forward to going each day. My son learned how to play three new songs in the span of eight days. The workshop reinforced his timing skills. I would say Mr. Przybylowski is a gifted teacher and musician. He motivates students to do their best and the kids sound great!"
Nicole colamarino
PAST oRCHESTRA WORKSHOP PARENT
"I was very pleased with the skills my son learned during the Orchestra Workshop and impressed with the kids' performance on the last day. My son absolutely loved attending. He was excited each day to share what he learned! Aside from being able to practice his skills and learn harder pieces of music, my son liked the different orchestra games incorporated and had fun being around kids of other ages as well. My son truly enjoyed working with Mr. P. I would highly recommend this program. It provides a great way for students to keep up on their skills during the summer as well as learn new skills and music to keep it interesting."
