Ben Wells
Head Male Counselor/Drummer/Rhythm & Jazz Teacher
Ben will be one of the head counselors this summer at Into the Woods MusiCamp. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. He holds a BA in Music Performance (Drumset) and also a degree in Music Business. He is on the staff at School of Rock in Wexford where he is a Drumset Instructor. He was a founding member of The Kelp Crusaders when he was only 13 years old. Although he spent many years playing rock and roll, his expertise lies in jazz. He is a member of Massive Hawk and you can hear their music on Spotify. He has spent many summers as a camper and as a counselor and loves to play Frisbee Golf. Don't be surprised if you see him teaching the kids on the 18-hole course here at camp! He is really looking forward to his second summer at Into the Woods MusiCamp!
Josh Beck
Counselor/Accompanist/Jazz Teacher
Josh will be a senior at the University of Miami in Florida where he studies Jazz Piano. I'd love to say what he does in his spare time but he has none. He is always playing for someone or somewhere within the Frost School of Music and really enjoys Miami. During the summer we are thrilled that he loves to come back and visit his jazz roots in Pittsburgh. He subs for many church organists throughout the summer, as well. Josh can be heard playing at many of the jazz clubs in Pittsburgh as well as Harvest Moon Coffee Shop near his home in Tarentum. He and Ben love to get together and jam! Josh is excited about camp and being our accompanist as well as teaching our campers more about jazz.
