Camp will include focused group learning of musical concepts, individual application of these concepts, group music games, free music play, and unstructured time.

Objectives:

By end of week, students should know the solfege hand signs and be able to sing scales, arpeggios, and simple melodies in a variety of keys (some reading, some by rote).

By end of week, students should be able to sing a simple two-part song.  In addition to music-reading and pitch-matching, students will begin to learn concepts of good tone production.

By end of week, students should be able to write in counts for simple rhythmic exercises and demonstrate them.

By end of week, students should feel comfortable talking about vocal music that they like and why they like it, using some musical terminology.

In addition to the above activities, I plan to include music games, music play, and unstructured time in the following ways:

Class DJ — each day, one child will choose a vocal song(s) in any genre that they want me to play, and will explain to the class why they like the song.  I will encourage them to use musical terminology, including elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, meter, tempo, and form.

Write a rap — give the group (or groups, if there are enough campers) a group of rhythm cards.  Have them put the cards in an order they choose, write lyrics, and perform a rap song.

Musical twister — put musical symbols on the twister mat and dial.  Instead of colors, students need to find and identify musical symbols.

Art and music — bring simple art supplies (markers, crayons, papers).  Play several different vocal songs, have students draw while listening.


                                                                                         

There is a concert at 2:30 pm on Friday of camp.
