CAMP DESCRIPTIONS:

Story...and familiar children’s classic songs! Children can more easily learn
and practice singing on pitch when their repertoire includes songs that have a
limited range, common rhythmic and melodic patterns, and are written in the
pentatonic scale. We begin camp with the joyful journey of learning to sing
with the fundamental interval, sol-mi...then adding on to sol-la-mi, etc.
Successful experiences lead to confidence...and confidence leads to more
singing!
Using
the creative and imagination of the students together, they sing songs and play
instruments also! An energetic camp for your child to harness their vocal power
and simple acting skills.

all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know
