Summer 2010

No classes July 5th
****Week of July 4th. Camp Alternative will run Tuesday—FRIDAY

PRE-K AND SCHOOL AGE DROP OFF PROGRAMS

Group Piano
(3-6 years) drop off with the approval of the instructor. 30 minutes

It is the goal of this course to introduce children to Musical language, music theory, notes and piano technique. But first of all, it is the goal to open up the world of music to each child, and to mediate an experience where playing an instrument is associated with fun, possibility and self-confidence. This will build the foundation for further interest in music. Classes are taught in groups of three for thirty minutes. The small group helps create ties of friendship and support which can assist in the creative process. The last day is an open class that family or friends are invited to attend. This makes their first performance a fun experience.
