ChiME Time Drumline
Summer 2023

​​​Buckets, bass drums, snare drums, and hand-held percussion will be used effectively in this high-energy, collaboration-centered summer camp. We will use music to develop self-effectiveness, leadership, and relationship building skills and we will have a great time making music together!
Students will:

• discover and nurture the joy of making music.
• improve their teamwork skills.
• learn, rehearse, and perform culturally relevant, engaging music to which they can relate. 
• explore their creativity and develop ways to express. themselves through instruments.
• reflect on life skills learned through music practice.
• foster strong presentation skills​.

Each camp will culminate in a final performance in the last hour of camp - families are invited to attend the show. 

Don't wait! Sign up today for one or both weeks!

where doES DRUMLINE TAKE place?

​​The camps and classes listed on this pages will take place in person at ChiME’s West Town facility at 1148 W. Chicago Ave.

what will students learn? 

Students will:

• develop an awareness and appreciation of leadership and self-effectiveness skills.
• increase their level of self-effectiveness, including in the areas of prioritizing, planning, time management, and accountability.
• demonstrate increased leadership by fulfilling their roles and responsibilities within the ensemble and becoming role models to younger peers.
• gain instrumental skills.

​

CAn I enroll at any time? 

Drumline summer camps offer the best experience when students are present for the entire duration of the camp. Fall and Spring classes are more flexible and it's possible to join later in the session.  

what do children do? 

Students use bucket drums, bass drums, snare drums, shakers, tambourines, and other small percussion instruments to actively make music during rehearsals. They learn music by ear and rote (with traditional and symbolic visual representation of music notation). Each session (even summer camps!) culminates in a final performance. 

What materials are needed for participation?

Students don't need any materials to attend. Instruments used during the program will be provided by and stored at ChiME. Camp participants should bring their own NUT-FREE lunch from home. ​
