A Summer of Music, Faith, and Inspiration
The Annie Moses Summer Music Festival is more than a music camp — it’s a formative experience designed to help students grow as performers, communicators, and leaders.
Students receive exceptional musical instruction while being encouraged to see their gifts as part of a greater calling: to glorify God through creativity and excellence.
Whether your student is stepping onto a stage for the first time or preparing for advanced performance opportunities, our faculty meets them where they are — and challenges them to go further.
Discover Your Track
Five distinct tracks ensure that every student — from preschoolers to advanced performers — finds a place to belong, grow, and thrive.
Each track is carefully designed around age, experience, and developmental goals, while sharing the same foundation of joy, excellence, and faith.
SESSION 1: JULY 8-11
The Woodshed (ages 11+)
An intensive for serious young musicians.
The Woodshed is designed for students ready to refine their technique and deepen their artistry. Through private lessons, daily technique classes, and focused performance coaching, students are challenged to sharpen their skills and expand their creative capacity.
Ideal for:
• Intermediate to advanced instrumentalists and vocalists
• Students preparing for auditions, competitions, or advanced study
• Young artists ready for focused, demanding instruction
Younger Division (ages 7-10)
Building confidence through creativity and performance.
Students in the Younger Division rehearse and perform an original musical created especially for their age group.
Through singing, acting, and movement, they develop musical skills while learning to communicate boldly and joyfully on stage.
This track nurtures creativity, teamwork, and confidence — all within a supportive, faith-filled environment.
Mini-Division (ages 4-6)
A joyful first step into music.
The Mini-Division introduces young children to music through imaginative play, movement, and foundational skills.
Students explore rhythm, melody, and storytelling in an environment designed to spark curiosity and confidence.
Every child is encouraged, celebrated, and invited to discover the joy of making music.
SESSION 2: JULY 13-18
Gala Week: “For The Life Of Me”
A profound performance experience exploring what it means to be human.
For The Life Of Me is an original production that invites young artists into a deep exploration of the value of the human soul and the eternal destiny each of us faces.
Through story, music, and movement, students wrestle with questions that have echoed across centuries: What is a soul worth? What does it mean to live well? And how do our choices shape who we become — now and forever?
Working alongside world-class coaches and directors, students are cast in custom-tailored roles that challenge them artistically while engaging them spiritually. Gala Week is immersive, demanding, and transformative — designed for young performers who want to pursue excellence not only in their craft, but in their calling.
This track is ideal for students ready to grow as artists, collaborators, and disciples, using their gifts to communicate truth, beauty, and hope.

A Message from the Director, Annie Moses (Dupre)
The performing arts are a powerful force in the modern world. A hundred years ago, you might have heard a singer in a recital hall or on the radio. Today innumerable platforms give us unparalleled access to creative content.
At the same time artists find it more difficult than ever to make their presence felt in the marketplace. Music education exists in a no-man’s-land of high tuition, anemic excellence, and an inability to engage a market that changes in months, not years. But most critically, the performing arts today lack any call higher than self-promotion or political posturing. Why do we create? What is the purpose of our music?
Christianity provides us with an answer: to glorify the Creator through our own creativity. The artist who is best equipped to do this is one who has a wide variety of skill sets. They not only perform, but write music. They are not only bound to a single genre, but can work in all genres. They can notate and educate, produce and perform, record, and most of all, root their art in the rich soil of Christian spirituality.
This is how we will reclaim a darkening world for Christ: by unleashing the beauty of truth with excellence.
