And that's a wrap! We had so much fun on Friday, we forgot to post our pictures. Students got to direct our activities for the day. 🎶

They chose kazoos, boomwhackers, drawing what we hear, and ending the day off with a jam session using all of the instruments we created this week! 🪇🥁🪈🎸🎧🎙️

We will post more pictures and videos throughout the summer of some camp sneak peeks. Stay tuned!

Day 4 of summer camp was VERY musical. We started the day off with boomwhackers, discussed how pitches change with length of string (or tube), had fun with kazoos, and made our own pan flutes! 🪈🎵🎙️🎶

We think our ears have had enough for one day! 😆❤️

We had lots of fun on days 2 and 3 of our summer camp! We learned about the different instrument families while listening to examples, discussed how music can elicit different emotions, and made several more instruments. 🎸🪘🎻🎹🪇🎧

Of course we also enjoyed snack time outside! ☀️

We had a great first day of Summer Camp! We discussed rhythm, played the BEST and most popular rhythm game among all of our students here, and made drums to end off our morning. Round two tomorrow!

LAST CHANCE TO SIGN UP!

We are so excited to see everyone soon! We already have a fun crew of kids enrolled and still have spots available. Join us for a musically fun week! 😀🥁🪘
