Letní hudební tábor - příležitost pro každého
Summer music camps were founded in 1988 by a group of three young music teachers. These camps are held till nowadays, even though there was a three-year pause in years 1990-1992. The traditional venue is the village Lhotsko near the town of Úštěk. Camps are attended by 70 children; many of those come repeatedly. Children work in groups where they handle musical instruments - keyboards, recorders, guitars and orchestra. They sing in choir and take part in music competitions. Apart from musical program there is a program kept by troop leaders, who are the students of University of Jan Evangelista Purkyně in Ústí nad Labem. At the end of a fortnight stay there is an audio recording of performed songs and a concert for parents. Many kinds of unconventional teaching methods, different kinds of repertoire, friendly approach to children and interesting camp program makes the whole event as an inspiring model of informal music education.
