Campbell schools offering music camp with help from OU

CAMPBELL

As students performed a dance routine to Sara Bareilles’ pop song “Brave,” Timothy Borham, Campbell choir director, snapped his fingers to the beat and yelled out instructions.

“Be confident!” “Look straight ahead!” “Hold your arms up!”

About 60 Campbell students entering grades six though 12 are participating in a music camp this week at the K-7 School, 2002 Community Circle.

The camp, a joint venture between Campbell City Schools and Ohio University, originated from conversations between Borham and Paul Mayhew, assistant professor of music at OU. Mayhew taught Borham several years ago at Heidelberg University in Tiffin.

OU and Campbell school instructors joined nine OU students to lead the program. Read more about the program in Thursday's Vindicator or on Vindy.com.
