Goals

We strive to provide a supportive non-judgmental space for girls, nonbinary, gender-fluid and trans youth ages 9-13 to learn and explore musical composition and sound. Campers will construct instruments and explore the acoustics of sound, will build melodies and learn about different ways to notate music, will create and share music with other campers in a fun environment. Our goal is 8 students


Activities

Students engage in fun activities to generate musical motives, develop them into longer ideas and accompany them with an ostinato. Their completed compositions are presented at the end of the week by professional musicians. They will also build simple musical instruments that they can include in their pieces.
