Also take a look the annual
Summer Study List of Music Camps provided by
Acoustic Guitar Magazine,
which says it lists over 100 camps. A great service from a very good magazine.
Please note: The current year's list is
printed in the April edition of the magazine, and the
online version may be the previous year's, at least
until the print issue leaves the news stands. |
