Because we introduce different instruments each day, it is best to enroll before the beginning of the session and attend every day. This way your child won’t miss any instrument presentations. what do children do?
Each day of camp will consist of musical warms ups (beat, rhythm, melody), movement activities, instrument demos and exploration, listening, lots of imitation, and games. A small, pre-packaged, nut-free snack will be provided. What materials are needed for participation?
Students don't need any materials to attend. Each family is welcome to purchase the ChiME Time Bucket with percussion instruments for use at home. These are available online, when you register, or any time at the front desk. WHEN DOES THE NEXT SESSION BEGIN?
The next session of Meet the Instruments will start September 9 with classes running on Saturdays at 11:30am for 9 weeks. Registration is open now! Click the REGISTER NOW button to enroll. |
