Family Music develops basic musical competence through singing and singing games, chanting, movement, and instrument play.
Families sing and dance together and are encouraged to respond spontaneously to music.
Parents who are unsure of their own musical ability will find that theirs will evolve along with their child's and that activities can be continued at home. Chanting, singing, listening, movement, games and ensemble playing provide an exciting mix of activities. Children will play instruments that will give them the freedom to improvise while they work on rhythmic skills, singing, and the cooperation necessary to be a member of a musical group. This lively music camp will offer children a balanced variety of activities including singing together, learning recorder, and playing percussion and barred instruments. Multicultural songs and dances will be explored as well as improvisation and other new ways of experiencing and appreciating music.
