KasperMusic Camps & Workshops

Check out our new tab and webpage to read about our many KasperMusic Camps for Kids and Workshops for Teens and Adults. Yes, adults. Why should kids have all the fun?

This summer, the Kaspers presented their ever-popular Summertime Songwriting Camp for Kids. They also kicked off a brand new children's camp: Guitar & Piano Jam!

Half Marathon

Jocelyn and Jonathan Kasper both complete the Music City Half Marathon. Mr. Kasper's second year, Ms. Kasper's first; it won't be their last!

Pictured above (and below) with Fergus Taylor, our trainer's dad, who travels from Iowa every year to participate in Nashville.

Ms. Kasper, Author

Ms. Kasper graduates from the Institute of Children's Literature. She completed ten correspondence assignments with one-on-one personalized instruction from professional writers and is now writing a novel for teens.

Musical Family

KasperMusic website mascots, our nephew, Reed and niece, Lily (now 11 and 6), continue their piano study.

Listen to Reed play a movement from Debussy's "Images pour Piano."

Listen to Lily play Bach's "Minuet in G."

Nashville Sounds

"Take me out to the ballgame. Take me out with the crowd!"

KasperMusic Voice Students performed live at the August 1 Nashville Sounds baseball game. The Sounds beat the Round Rock Express 7-6 in the bottom of the ninth inning.

And each singer hit a home run on her solo line, booming over the stadium loudspeakers to roaring cheers!

Thanks to Brenan, Emma, Fiona, Greta, Jessica, Jordan, Kailey, Olivia, Taylor.
Go KasperKids!
