Calling all kids who love to SING! Tailor-made for kids entering grades 1-2, this camp combines professional, research-based vocal technique and musical training with fun songs and activities that feel like games! Kids will learn basic singing techniques, including belly breathing, sustaining breath, and tone support.They will receive ear training by matching pitch, identifying and performing high/low and up/down tones, and using body solfege. They'll also learn rhythm through steady beat, chanting, active rhythm song-games, and simple percussion and will begin learning to identify notes, rests, and meter. And, most fun of all, they'll learn how to master a new song through story, words, melody, and actions! On the last day, we will perform for each other and also video-record the songs we’ve learned and some of the rhythm-based activities we’ve done. Distributed electronically to parents, the video allows parents to watch with their children after camp, reinforcing all that the kids learned and enjoyed during Little Singers Camp!

Children love family adventures that enrich them and create lasting memories, so we’re taking a virtual and very musical road trip during our summer camp! We’ll hop in our imaginary cars and engage with all kinds of family travels to a variety of destinations—camping, the beach, fairgrounds, and other fun places families go together! As we travel, we’ll sing in the car, make up songs, stop for roadside picnics, harmonize (or try to!), play car-travel games, explore making silly sounds, and many other traveling escapades. Every day is packed with activities, crafts, and musical exploration, all centered around imaginative three- and four-year-old minds!
