"This is my 8th year as a camper. From the very first time I had the opportunity to participate as a clarinet player in some of the performances besides singing in the choir. As a music student, it was a great experience to play music together and to play at the end-of-camp concerts. The repertoire of the choir always consists of very good songs, and the vocal and orchestral parts are arranged by the teachers who teach at the camp. I have been attending the summer camp every year since I was 11 years old and most of the spring and autumn workshops. It's an important part of my life because the atmosphere is super fun and you learn a lot about different genres of music and how to perform them. I also look forward to the camp every time because every year the performances get better and better as we become more confident ourselves. For me, this camp has defined my life since I became a student at the Bartók Conservatory, the Liszt Academy's training school. This is in large part due to the musical inspiration I received from playing music with the teachers and students at the camp. It was here that I realised that in addition to classical music, you can also learn pop music or jazz, where I found completely new ways of doing things through improvisation. During the camps, the teachers teach with a completely different approach than in classical music classes, and it was here that I really fell in love with playing music. The camps allowed me to develop, I became more confident on the clarinet and I gained stage experience through the many performances. That's why I decided to enroll in the Jazz saxophone course at the conservatory as a grade 12 student. At the camp I made a lot of good friends through music. I also met my best friend here, with whom we were brought together by jazz music. We were able to learn very good solo performances together and put them on stage at smaller and larger events. I really got to love the camps, because life-changing things happen to us there even outside of playing music. I can't imagine a summer where I wouldn't go."
