Music Safari Camp
July 27-31
9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Ages 6-9
Have you ever thought about signing your child up for music lessons but weren't sure where to begin? Then this camp is for you! During this week of musical exploration, your child will be introduced to several families of instruments including strings, winds, brass, and keyboard. All students will receive hands on experience with each of the instruments. This introductory camp is a great opportunity to discover which instruments interest your child most before investing in private instruction. Previous musical experience is not necessary.
