[nabs-l] summer camp jobs

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hello Chris,
After speaking with Andrew more, I found out where he'd feel comfortable. He 
did say he would try working at a mainstream camp; after all, we both agreed 
music is music and its going to be pretty auditory; at general camps, we are 
concerned about supervision, not seeing kids run around and be in danger. 
But a music camp is a more controlled environment, and he might be more 
successful there.

He would like to focus on a piano music camp because he grew up learning it 
and feels he could teach or assistant teach this better.
He wants to work with kids not too young, like over 5 years old; but work 
with music students at the beginning or intermediate stages.

Yes, let me know your voice teacher's name. Is this the best email to write 
off list?

Ashley

Ashley,

The only music camp I know of specifically for blind students is braille 
beats in Michigan. Though I haven't been to this camp, I've heard many good 
things about it and I'd like to go at some point. If Andrew is open to 
teaching at the mainstream music camp and does not want a camp just for 
blind kids, there are numerous music camps in the area. I could put him or 
you in contact with my voice teacher who is involved in some of them here in 
Maryland and DC. Also, what age range would he like to teach if any? I ask 
because this may be a cool opportunity for the kids in one of our bell 
programs. Just some thoughts for you to consider.
