ChiME Time Band

Picture
Become part of something big this summer and experience the synergy of team work as you actively make music with a group of peers. Each week of the One Beat camp will give students opportunities to:
  • make new friends from diverse backgrounds.
  • become responsible and reliable team members as they play music together.
  • build and develop critical self- and social skills that will benefit them for life, including self-awareness, self-confidence, self-expression, listening skills, and creativity.
  • experience first steps on keyboard and percussion instruments.
  • learn, rehearse, and put together a song for a final video recording project.
  • learn the fundamentals of music, including beat, rhythm, and melodic skills.

Learn more about ChiME Time Band

where does ChiME time band take place? 
​​The class will take place at ChiME’s West Town location. Students will use a large  classroom, where social distancing and other safety precautions will be taken. 
What will students learn? 
​Throughout the one-week session, students will
  • be responsible for their part on the team.
  • learn how to plan and execute practice to prepare for a performance.
  • practice active listening and ensemble skills, such as following the conductor and playing together with the group.
  • experience musicality and creativity through instrumental music-making. 
  • learn to play a group arrangement of a popular song for percussion and keyboard instruments.
  • learn basic beat, rhythm, and melodic skills.
What will students experience?  
​Each day will consist of team-building games, warm-ups, movement activities, instrumental practice, and ensemble rehearsals. Each student will be assigned to a specific instrument part for the song of the week, and will learn to play that part within a larger group. The campers will produce a final group project on the last day of camp and a video of their “performance” will be shared with families. 
what do students need to participate?
​Students should arrive each day with a set of three masks (one on their face and two spare ones, just in case), their own water bottle, and a small snack. They should be wearing comfortable clothes and non-slip shoes.
