MBMS Summer Music camps
ARE YOU READY FOR AN AMAZING ONLINE MUSICAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE?
Our Summer Music Camps are generally offered during the months of June, July, and August, depending on the scheduled themed camp sessions that are offered. This summer has a unique twist. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, all of our summer camp activities will be conducted online. Campers will be introduced to:
- Basic Theory
- Counting Rhythms
- Ear-Training (matching pitches)
- Sight-Reading (basic note recognition)
Below, is a description of our four weekly-themed music camps. Each camp will be offered virtually online for 1-hour each day, Monday - Friday. Campers will engage in daily group sessions, interactive games and activities with highly skilled moderators and instructors. As a bonus, each camper will have the opportunity to schedule a 30-min private, one-on-one lesson outside of the group sessions, to review the lesson and/or material, and enhance what they are learning .
