Overview

Join us this summer for our Summer Music Sampler where students will interact with experienced music instructors through demonstrations and hands-on instrument exploration. They will also have the opportunity to learn fun songs, dances, and activities that will improve memorization, listening skills, and coordination.

Each day students will experience a different instrument including voice, piano, guitar, violin, and percussion. It is a great way to find out what interests them most!

Our lead instructor has designed this camp so that any level of “musicmaker” between ages 4–6 can enjoy a fun and safe musical experience. Students are required to be independently toilet-trained and are asked to bring a nut-free snack and lunch, and a water bottle.
