Instrument Playing
Students actively make music using various instruments. Campers learn basic techniques, play rhythmic patterns, and perform together as a group while developing listening skills, coordination, and teamwork.
Composing Music
Campers are introduced to the basics of composing music through guided activities. Students experiment with rhythm and melody while creating short original ideas and working together to build musical pieces in an age-appropriate and engaging way.
Rhythm Games and Skill Building
Rhythm is developed through interactive games, body percussion, and movement-based activities. These experiences strengthen timing, coordination, and beat awareness while keeping learning fun and energetic.
