Computer Music Technology

Using advanced, up-to-date computer software along with a keyboard, this exciting class offers students the opportunity to create and record their own music. Students will be trained in the use of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) sequencing software, and will gain a basic knowledge in the art of arranging notes and rhythms into original compositions.

Studio Art

Using traditional, fine art methods, Studio Art gives campers the opportunity to visually express their perception of the world around them through painting, drawing and sculpture. By actively sparking their imagination through visual stimulation, students will enjoy the fun of creative expression and gain a sense of accomplishment. Students also have the opportunity to create the scenery for our theatrical production.

Musical Theater

The focus of our camp, musical theater classes are designed to introduce young actors to the challenges and excitement of performing on the musical theater stage. In addition to the actual performing experience, the students will build self-confidence and communications skills that are so important in theater as well as in everyday life. Students will learn about performing through various lessons, improvisational activities and games, culminating in the production of a Broadway show which gives every student the chance to appear on stage. Performances will take place at the end of the summer session.

Vocal Instruction

Vocal instruction for musical theater stresses correct breathing, vocal exercises, repertoire, style and performance practices. The repertoire will be based on popular songs from the musical theater literature.
