Camps & Outreach
The UNCSA Community Music School is committed to engaging with the community through day camps, school visits, and musical exploration opportunities. Individual clinicians and student ensembles are available for your classroom or community program, contingent upon scheduling and availability.
Summer Day Camps
The Community Music School will offer Beginning Guitar and a Sing and Strum Ukulele summer day camps in 2019.
Beginning Guitar Day Camp
Summer 2019— Dates TBD
9 AM to 12:00 PM with snack break
Instructors: TBD
New guitarists with little or no prior experience receive a comprehensive introduction to the instrument in a fun and relaxed small classroom environment. Students will explore the music fundamentals of melody, harmony and rhythm as idiomatically applied to the guitar. We will also delve into the history of the guitar and explore some of the many varieties of the instrument and its cousins in the string family.
By the end of the camp, students will be able to tune their guitar, replace strings, play both single note melodies and chordal accompaniment, identify and draw basic components of music notation, and develop a basic understanding of playing in a group context.
Families are invited to a student/faculty performance on the final day featuring original arrangements and songs by campers!
*Family discount available only after minimum enrollment of 8 full price students is met.
