THERE’S STILL TIME to add music to your child’s summer!
The Brattleboro Music Center has openings in two of its summer programs starting next week: Beginning Guitar Camp for kdis ages 8-13, and Time
Traveling Through Music for 7-12 year olds.
Beginning Guitar Camp
Beginning Guitar Camp runs from July 28 – August 1, 3:30 – 5:30 pm, for kids ages 8 to 13.
Spend the week at camp learning beginning guitar basics in a group setting. Bring your acoustic, classical or electric (and amp) guitar. Learn the basics of good hand position, basic reading skills and how to find and use different resources to learn to play many styles of music for the guitar. Karen Horton is a public school music teacher at Twin Valley Schools and French horn player in the Windham Orchestra. She has taught beginning group lessons for guitar players for many years. A short informal performance will take place on the last day of class for parents and friends. Tuition is $150.
Time Traveling through Music
Time Traveling Through Music runs from July 28-August 1, 10 am – 12 pm for kids ages 7 to 12.
Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? That’s what we’ll be doing in this week long journey through the course of music history. We will combine music and other artistic expressions to recreate a variety of musical periods starting all the way back in prehistoric times! We’ll make instruments and act like composers. We’ll listen to the differences in styles from one period to the next, and draw pictures of what we hear. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of how music has been shaped over time in a playful and engaging environment. Each child’s creativity will be our time machine, which might even take us into the future! This camp is led by Heather Sommerlad. Tuition is $150
