Nestled amid the rugged Rocky Mountains of western Canada, the Banff Centre for the Arts is a unique facility designed to nurture creativity and develop the arts. From July 5–7, Yamaha Music Education System students from across Canada (plus a guest from the U.S.A.) took in this wonderful atmosphere at the Yamaha Canada Music Ltd. (YC)-sponsored 5th Junior Original Concert (JOC) Music Camp. Students and teachers attended intensive workshops with topics even extending to Cubase™ music software.
The camp was concluded by JOC in the Margaret Greenham Theatre, where 42 of the students performed their own compositions in front of a full audience. The wide mountain vistas provided the perfect backdrop for the camp and a fitting environment for creating a richer life through experience with Yamaha.
