MUSICAMP for KIDS (8-12) 9am-4pm in a home studio close to Dufferin Grove Park (Bloor and Dufferin). · July 15-19 The Blues: From Shouts to 12 Bars 9am-4pm · July 22-26 West African Drumming 9am-4pm (co-hosted by Anna Melnikoff and her orchestra of drums!) · July 29-Aug 2 Composition and Song 9am-4pm Each week is filled with fun music activities (like beatboxing and other vocal percussion games, Bobby-McFerrin styled circle songs and an improvising choir, soundwalks and soundscape compositions, end of week performances, and other activities centred on the weekly themes) designed to overcome inhibition and develop a host of intellectual and social skills associated with music making. We’ll also have some crafts (instrument and mask making), backyard games, water fun, Pizza-making Wednesdays in Dufferin Grove Park and many other park possibilities. Love of music is expected but formal training is not required. Neither is an instrument. Our intuitive approach to exploring sound, music, composition, the voice, and the weekly themes also functions as a great supplement to conventional musiclessons.
