Chorus of Westerly: Summer Music & Movement Program for Kids 4 to 6

Description

The Chorus of Westerly announces Music and Movement, a summer program for children ages 4 to 6. The program is designed to introduce our youngest musicians to the world of music through fun activities designed just for them! We'll sing, move, and play in a week-long music camp (half-day program) at the George Kent Performance Hall, 119 High Street in Westerly. 

The program will run daily from 9 am to 11:30 am, Monday July 31 to Friday, August 4. Previous experience in music is certainly not required of the children to participate in the program. Tuition is $90 per child for the full week. Snacks will be included each day.

Music is a key feature of early childhood, and children are natural music makers who delight in the musical world around them. In this class, young musicians experience a variety of music activities designed just for them. Children will sing, move expressively, create, and play instruments. While building a repertoire of songs for everyday living, children will acquire music skills and knowledge that will enrich their lives far into the future.  In addition to acquiring early music literacy skills, making music enhances children’s understanding of their world, aids in language development, and contributes to their social and emotional well-being.

Faculty for the program will include several music educators from within the Chorus of Westerly ranks including; Ms. Genvieve Spitale, music teacher; Andrew Howell, music director; and Audrey Cardany, director of education and outreach.
