SPA 2009 Kicks Off!

Welcome to SPA 2009! We've just gotten through the first day, and I think it was a fun-filled and exciting time. This is Chris Jenkins, Dean of SPA and viola faculty this summer. Throughout our two-week program, I'll be blogging with updates about our daily activities, with help from faculty, staff, and SPA students, in order to keep you up to date on the latest news from SPA.

Our first day began pretty early. Some of our kids were practicing this morning at 7 am! We had a full morning of lessons and practicing until lunchtime at 12:30 pm, and then had a little break until 2:30, when students had a chance to meet the other members of their chamber group and begin rehearsing. I got to coach a few of the chamber groups, and everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Tonight we watched the Sphinx documentary, and then our students had free time until check-in and lights out at night. We still have almost two more weeks of camp, so I hope that they're getting a lot of sleep!
