5. WHAT IS MY CHILD GOING TO LEARN AT CAMP?
Beginner Piano Camp: Kids will learn basic rhythm notes (quarter, half, dotted half and whole notes, the keys on the piano and where they are, and will even begin to learn how to read music. Students in our camps are able to learn at their own pace. This means we will truly take them as far as they are capable! On average, they will learn 10 piano lessons worth at camp. You will be truly amazed how much they will learn in 1 week!

Ukulele Camp: Kids will learn the ins and outs of the ukulele, how to read TABs, and how to play chords. We will be using the Rainbow Ukulele curriculum and will learn to play tons of songs together as a group. Kids will end the camp knowing how to play many of their favorite songs on the ukulele.

Piano Camp: This camp is for current piano students. As you already know, our students learn at their own pace. That means many of them will be coming into camp at different levels. Students can structure their camp how they want. Love composing? Then they can really dive into writing an awesome song. Love learning pop music? Then they will learn pop songs they love. We will also be teaching them other topics that we often don’t have time for in regular lessons (ie: music history and more!).
