Music Discoveries is held at the University of Victoria's School of Music. Check-in is by the David Lam Auditorium in the MacLaurin Building A-wing.
When is Music Discoveries?
Music Discoveries is a day camp that runs across a single weekend, from Friday night to Sunday night. While each year's schedule is subject to change, here is an estimate of times:
1. Friday 6PM - 8PM.
2. Saturday 9AM - 8PM.
3. Sunday 9AM - 5PM.
A final schedule will be released in mid-December, and all parents/guardians who have registered their child will be contacted with a detailed itinerary closer to the camp.
While we understand that students may have prior commitments over the weekend, we highly encourage all students to arrive on time and stay for the full duration of the camp. Due to the shortness of Music Discoveries, every minute counts!
Students who need to arrive late / leave early should contact us in advance.
What are CYOAs?
Choose Your Own Adventure is an opportunity for students to explore a cool type of music just for fun – hopefully something they’ve never tried before! Led by Music Education students, CYOAs offer an opportunity for students to work together to create and master a piece of music to perform at the final concert. Past and present CYOAs include Sound Painting, Recycled Percussion, Silent Movie Soundtrack, Acoustic Band, Ukulele Ensemble, and Rock Band. Please see the CYOA page for more information and descriptions of each CYOA!
