With so much pressure being put on young people in this day and age, it seems a shame that many parents believe they have to push their kids even further in order to assure their success in life. Parents will frequently get their children into a specialized program so they can master skills that are not commonly held in the general population. Summer programs such as musical theater camp is exactly such a place.
Such a place represents an excellent opportunity for many students to hone existing skills, or develop new ones. Music has the power of impacting people in a deeply spiritual way. While a great deal of the skill required to make such pleasing sounds comes naturally to many musicians, there is still a great deal that any student must be taught in order to be regarded as a master.
In the past these camps were remembered by their attendees as boring retreats for children who had parents vacationing abroad. Children with hopes for attending pricey acting schools in New York or France would be enduring their summers in theaters, sweating over an ancient Oboe rather than hanging with their friends at the pool. Years later, it would seem that these are the very people who later make it into Hollywood and Broadway.
These days it is not uncommon to hear the campers and their counselors say that everyone has some sort of artistic talent which must be discovered within. Once one knows their talent, their guides teach them that they now have a sort of power. Once a child has confidence, their ability to perform in front of others is greatly enhanced.
In the past the kids might have felt stifled by their counselors, but these days they are tutored by rock and country stars with current hits played on the radio. Sometimes famous members of the distinguished world-wide theater community step in to devote time to them. The fact is, some of the most talented people on the planet take a personal interest in the future of these young people.
It is not at all uncommon for students to choose a different primary topic upon which to focus their attention each summer. Some of them might choose to pursue a very well-rounded set of skills by mastering certain instruments and also learning to get into the mind of a character they will be performing in the summer-end play. Most of these camps even have teachers for various forms of dance, mime, and clowning.
It might seem mean to push young people so hard toward success, but then again, maybe it is not as bad as some of us think. Kids who have taken advantage of these camps, whether they were forced to or went voluntarily, discovered that the things they learned during that time of their lives could not be measured. It opened doors for them to get into places like Broadway and Hollywood.
Gone are the days of facial exercise, intonation, and classical music scores. Kids at these camps are learning to play Ozzy Osborne songs on an electric guitar while also being tutored on how to mold themselves into a modern playwright. The sky is the limit for these young people, and there is no doubt that the alternative and rock music to come may be written by some of the most talented and perfected musicians that have ever lived.
