WTAMU Band Camp & Band Directors' Workshop
“Taking It All In” was commissioned by Band Directors Talk Shop as a gift to the band director community. This work was premiered by
the Junior High Concert Band at the West Texas A&M University Band Camp in 2024 under the direction of Annette Mitchell.

WTAMU Band Camp is a summer camp in Canyon, Texas. Held in July each summer, there are 5 high school bands and 4 middle school
bands, comprised of over 1,000 students.. Attendees to the camp receive high quality instruction during daily band rehearsals, woodwind and
brass/percussion section rehearsals and instrument specific master classes. Students also participate in electives such as jazz band, woodwind
or brass ensemble, rhythmic reading, reed making and more, as well as having the opportunity to take private lessons..

Alongside the student band camp, runs Band Directors’ Workshop.. This is an intensive professional development opportunity for directors
to observe rehearsals, attend in-depth clinics, participate in pedagogical discussions and develop new friendships. Find more information here
- https://bit.ly/BDWinfo..

Here's what some past attendees had to say about the workshop experience:

I have never felt more welcomed into a community, and I have NEVER been to a
PD where I learned so much. And the best part - it’s all knowledge I can put into
practice NOW! I’m so excited for this school year now and I can’t wait to come
back next year and do it all again.

AMAZING week of learning at WT this past week! I gained so much in the classes,
met some passionate educators but most of all I got information that I can put to
work tomorrow. I’m more excited than ever to teach band!!

If anyone wants a great band experience, take the time to go to West Texas A&M for the Band Directors’ Workshop. New directors will
find plenty of help and ideas, and experienced directors get a great recharge and chance to collaborate with people from all over.

If you’re looking for a way to improve your teaching, broaden your network and be inspired daily, come join us next summer in Canyon, TX.

West Texas A&M University School of Music


The School of Music at West Texas A&M University (WTAMU). is comprised of 32 full time faculty members, 7 adjunct faculty and
approximately 300 music majors. Students have a selection of excellent performing ensembles in which to participate. All of the ensembles
have made numerous appearances at professional meetings and tour throughout the state. The music faculty members are leaders in their
selected field, receiving awards for their teaching or creative/scholarly activities.

WTAMU, offers six undergraduate degree options in music. Students may select from a major in composition, all-level certification
(preparation to teach in the public schools), therapy, performance, music technology or a degree in music with selective studies in business. At
the graduate level, we offer a master of arts degree in music and a master of music degree in performance.

WTAMU is proud of being small enough that students receive instruction from an expert in their field. Students have regular interaction with
our faculty, both in and out of class. WT is also large enough to offer many opportunities for students to perform, learn and get involved in
college life.
