Family and Friends Are Invited!
On Friday, July 21, Music Academy will host two events that your family and friends won’t want to miss!
No reservations are needed.
While at Music Academy, you’ll be performing both individually and within ensembles. There are so many vocal, choral, and orchestral groups available for you to join! When you arrive, you’ll be placed with an ensemble of other campers that match your unique skills, and you’ll perform with them throughout the week. Here’s how you can prepare for this:
If you’re not able to submit a recording before coming to camp, you can also audition when you get here to determine your place in the orchestra seating or vocal ensembles. Pianists will be asked to play a familiar song from the hymnal.
And however you spend your free time, you’ll be spending it with newfound friends. From climbing the rock wall to cooling off at the ice-skating rink or testing your skills on the FlowRider—it’s all waiting for you. Check out a full list of activities.
Meet Your Camp Director
Miss Cindy Graby graduated from Pensacola Christian College with a degree in piano performance and earned a Master of Arts degree from Louisiana State University. For the past 30 years, she has taught piano at PCC and been actively involved in the music ministry at Campus Church.
Miss Graby has been part of the faculty for Summer Music Academy since it began under the direction of Dr. and Mrs. Alberto Jaffé in 1995. This will be her 10th year to serve as the director. She consistently encourages young people to use their musical abilities for God’s glory.
You’ll learn from accomplished musicians and experienced Pensacola Christian College music faculty. Many of them have studied under the late Dr. Alberto Jaffé or his wife, Daisy DeLuca Jaffé—the developers of the well-known Jaffé Strings Method and Advanced Piano Relaxation Techniques.
