Summer Camp Descriptions:
Beginning Guitar: This class will be an exciting introduction to guitar playing. You provide the instrument and I provide a fun packet of music. We will learn proper technique, several chords and a few strums to play and sing many songs! Included in these camps will be fun musical games to fill up an hour of fabulous musical instruction.
Group Vocal - 90 Minutes: You will purchase a music book with accompaniment downloads or CD (to be determined). I will be teaching from the Betty Jean Chipman curriculum again this summer! This technique helps students produce the best quality sound with the most relaxed production possible. Anyone can sing beautifully with the right instruction. We will sing as a whole group and try out some solos. Students learn much from hearing each other sing and seeing how I coach individuals in their vocal technique. We also develop choreography/actions for our group songs...the students help with it to boost their creativity and imagination! It is so fun to see what they come up with!!! I'm looking forward to our Friday performances!
Beginning Violin/Viola or Cello: These camps are for the child who has always wanted to try out string playing but just hasn’t had the right opportunity. OR it is perfect for children to get a jump start into beginning orchestra in the fall. I will teach the students how to hold the instrument and bow. They will learn to produce a lovely tone, at first on open strings and then with fingerings. We will play games and discuss how music works too. You’ll be surprised how much they learn in just one week!
Early Intermediate and Advanced String Ensembles - 90 Minutes:
Student violinists, violists and cellists with 1 year to 4 years experience, who read music well are welcome to sign up for these camps. We will work on technique, discuss best practices and learn several fun songs to play at the performance for our family on Friday. Perfect for someone who has been in private lessons and is working into being in an orchestra! Or for someone wanting to improve their technique and rhythm skills for orchestral playing. We do this through hands on experiences and games too!
