Bravo Buddies
Are you interested in becoming a Bravo Buddy?
Bravo Buddies is a four-week summer music camp held every June for elementary and middle school students of all skill levels. Each student receives two 45-minute private music lessons per week, with personalized guidance to help them grow as musicians.
Every week ends with a Fun Friday—field trips, music workshops, performances, or team-building activities—that bring students together and make the summer both enriching and fun
Hear from a Bravo Buddies student & teacher about their experience in the program:
“This was my daughter’s best summer with Bravo Buddies!!! Her teacher was absolutely AMAZING! We are so thankful for Bravo Waukegan and the talented musicians that create such a great program for our children”
— Waukegan Parent, 2025
“”I loved living this magical experience! I especially loved my teacher, who helped me improve my violin skills through the month. Thank you Bravo Waukegan!”
– Bravo Buddies Student, 2025
“Students in Bravo Buddies grow so much—not only by building strong bonds with their teachers during lessons, but also by connecting with other students, whether they play the same instrument or not. They develop quickly as musicians in a short time, gaining both confidence and knowledge that they might not have encountered until much later in their musical journey. By the end of this wonderful program, students truly emerge as stronger musicians and more confident individuals”
