He realized that during summertime, many children get stuck at home playing video games and watching TV instead of doing something fun and productive to help them grow. Also, he noticed that most music camps in the area catered more to musically serious high-school students while mostly neglecting the younger population. To combat these issues, Paolo prepared and organized a week-long Drum Camp and called it DC11 (Drum Camp 2011). His goal was to help working parents by providing a uniquely beneficial and fun solution. During the inaugural year, the camp included 11 students and 3 instructors total. In 2012, the number grew to 15. In 2013, the number of students grew to roughly 25, and more instructors were brought on board. Every year since, Paolo has worked hard to improve structure, organization, and quality. From 2014 onward, every Orlando Drum Camp has served more than 30 students each week, with the highest enrollment being 52 students for 1 week making it the largest camp in Central Florida of its kind! Throughout these years, Paolo has invested in instruments from around the world to captivate the interests of the curious camp participants. Up to this day, he has gathered over 100 instruments that campers play during the week and for the concert. These include over 30 hand drums, several drum sets, xylophones, Indian tabla drums, a handmade Eclipse drum from Israel, lap harps, a theremin, and even folkloric furro and tambora drums that he had to travel to Venezuela to pick up! Several camp participants come back year after year, and some have even become camp instructors! Jessie Otaiza is the only student that has attended ALL drum camps, first as a student for the first 4-5, and then as an instructor every year after! John Maruri also attended the camp for several years and then later became an instructor.With participants coming back year after year, Paolo had to keep things interesting by changing activities and organizing campers into unique new groups to play new instruments, and composing entirely new musical percussion pieces. The struggle to produce new and exciting musical opportunities for repeat campers led to some creative pieces. Two of these pieces are "Rhythmic Raindrops" and "Party Stools". " Rhythmic Raindrops" is a body percussion piece that was inspired by listening to raindrops outside one day. The sound of the drops on different outdoor materials immediately prompted Paolo to pull out paper and pencil and start writing this piece. Months after the camp that year, the piece was featured in a Percussion Ensemble Concert at Colonial High School. The idea for "Party Stools" came when Paolo attended a wedding reception which he found to be uneventful. While sitting down at his assigned table and watching people dance to music that he was not interested in, he pulled up the stool next to him and started hand drumming on it. Never mind what everyone else thought! Amused, he started writing ideas for stool music on a napkin while at the event. The completed piece was a hit that year at drum camp and was performed numerous times in the following 2 years. It was performed at a percussion ensemble concert and even won 3rd place at a company talent show! John and Jessie (mentioned above), were 2 of the 4 members that performed this piece.In 2019, the Orlando Drum camp ran successfully for 2 weeks, and it felt very smooth. A lot of effort was made to automate the process, and this was achieved. The question was, "How can this be improved?" After some post-reflection, Paolo realized that the current system needed to be expanded to include piano, guitar/ukulele, and voice. After 9 years of experimentation, Paolo has developed a system to successfully arrange student groups, and this can be easily applied to new instrument groups. The structure and concept are the same but feature more instruments and ensemble possibilities. In 2020 Orlando Music Camp was born, and continues the success of its predecessor, Orlando Drum Camp!

While we recognize that technology has its benefits, personal electronic devices can often distract from the rich, interactive experience we aim to provide.To promote meaningful social interaction, focused learning, and full participation in camp activities, we strongly encourage all students to leave personal electronics at home. Alternatively, devices may be turned in to our front desk at the beginning of the day and will be safely returned to each student at dismissal.We also understand that parents may wish to stay in contact with their children throughout the day. For this reason, we do not enforce a mandatory electronics ban and will leave this decision to the discretion of each family. Camp contact numbers will be provided for parents to use in the event of an emergency or urgent need.We kindly ask that you consider the value of an electronics-free environment—one that encourages creativity, connection, and full engagement in every moment. Thank you for partnering with us to create a positive and enriching experience for all our campers.For more information, contact us at:Email: info@orlandomusiccamp.comCall/Text: 407-906-1667 https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/18ea7540-7436-11f0-994e-1dce379af11a-rimg-w1200-h547-dc464748-gmir.jpg Weeks and Locations🕑: 09:00 AM - 02:00 PMJune 1-5 Avalon School of MusicInfo: Location: 12946 Tanja King Blvd, Orlando FL 32828🕑: 09:00 AM - 02:00 PMJune 8-12 Avalon School of MusicInfo: Location: 12946 Tanja King Blvd, Orlando FL 32828🕑: 09:00 AM - 02:00 PMJune 15-19 Orlando School of MusicInfo: Location: 4968 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32803🕑: 09:00 AM - 02:00 PMJuly 13-17 Oviedo School of MusicInfo: Location: 561 E Mitchell Hammock Rd # 400, Oviedo, FL 32765🕑: 09:00 AM - 02:00 PMJuly 20-24 Avalon School of MusicInfo: Location: 12946 Tanja King Blvd, Orlando FL 32828🕑: 09:00 AM - 02:00 PMJuly 27 - 31 Avalon School of MusicInfo: Location: 12946 Tanja King Blvd, Orlando FL 32828
