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.
