This course is an in-depth approach on innovative ideas for practice techniques, quality performance, organizational skills, and performance strategies. Other elements in the curriculum include ear training, music theory, history and appreciation, dance, arts and crafts, world music and instrument maintenance.
At the end of this program, children will be showcasing their talents and accomplishments with a recital on June 29. Katherine said that music is the primary focus of this camp. Therefore, participating students should have previous exposure to music instruction. However, she is now opening a branch in the curriculum to allow beginner students to participate. The only requirement is that each student has a strong desire to learn.
The Academy also has a program made especially for toddlers ages 18 months to 4 years old called Summer Musikgarten. This program is held from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., on Tuesdays through Thursdays, June 8 – June 29. The major elements include introductory music, early dance, arts and crafts, singing, exploring instruments and more. This camp is an ideal introduction to the arts. The registration deadline is June 2.
