Sam Jannotta and Cam Millar are joining forces to open the Shepherdstown School of Music. The school will be housed at the St. Agnes Church Parish Hall at 106 S. Duke Street.

The school, Jannotta said, will offer classes beginning in August; however, registrations are currently being accepted. The school will offer diverse classes in every area from piano to drums, horns to strings.

Prior to official August lessons, the school also has plans for two weeks of summer camp for local musicians ages 8-18.

The Rock and Jazz Summer Camp will be held from July 8-18, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Camp attendees may choose to attend both weeks of the camp at a cost of $150 or attend one week only for $85. Following the camp instruction, Jannotta said the campers will offer a musical performance for parents and guests.
