4. What is the average age of the participants?

This camp is for all adult piano students over the age of 19. There is no age limit. All levels are welcome.

6. How many pieces of music can I work on?

Please have 3-4 pieces of music to work on, one with each teacher, to avoid conflicting advice. If you choose to work on the same piece but with a different teacher, that is fine.

7. Can I record the lessons/master classes?

Yes, you are permitted to record your own activities, however the recording of other participants during master classes is not permitted. These recordings are also not permitted to be shared publicly, and are for personal use only.

15. Can I speak with the teachers outside of lessons & master classes?

Please refrain from speaking with our faculty before or after lessons and master classes, as our teachers follow a very tight schedule and must remain on time for all students. If you wish to speak with a teacher, please make a request at the office. We will reach out to the teacher to check for availability; however, we cannot guarantee additional meeting times.

8. What if I can’t make it to a lesson or if I am sick? Can I reschedule?

The program is scheduled very tightly based on the teachers’ availability since some of them are from outside of Ottawa, and scheduling is now complete. Because of this, no changes or refunds due to scheduling issues or illness will be made.

9. Is it required that participants bring the original score?

You can bring copies of the music so that the score can be marked up by the teacher without disturbing the original working copy.

10. How do we reserve the practice rooms?

A schedule will be made available onsite daily and participants can sign up for a practice room each day that they are here.

Sign up will be first come first serve.

11. What is the Wine & Music Sharing night?

At 10,000 Hours we normally have our Adult Music Sharing events throughout the year. This Wine & Music Sharing evening will be similar but we will be serving wine, various cheeses, small hors d’oeuvres. This is a night to share the pieces you are working on during the camp; you will be given 3 additional tickets to give to friends and family to attend the evening as well. This event is not open to the public.
