Dozens of students are keeping up with their musical skills by taking
part in the annual Summer Music Camp at Port Jefferson. Working along
with music teachers Mark Abbonizio and Christian Neubert, the sounds of
string and woodwind instruments have been in the air at Edna Louise
Spear Elementary School. The camp is an opportunity for students to
foster an appreciation of music with beginner lessons as well as
programs to prepare for New York State School Music Association solo
performances during the academic year. “Not only is this an enjoyable
and educational experience for students, it encourages a year-round
exploration of their musical talents,” Dr. Michael Caravello, district
director of music and fine arts said.
