ABOUT THE MUSIC CAMP:
Included in the one week camp experience at Beyond Montessori School, your child will experience a daily mirage of age-appropriate musical games and activities consisting of 30-45 minutes in length. Each day, your child(ren) will be introduced to basic musical concepts for that class and then given the hands-on instrument exploration time to discover this concept. This structured free time of instrument exploration will put those concepts into play.

Your children will listen to instruments and to each other, learn from their peers and older children, and enjoy music and movement with hoops, scarves, tumble-around play, parachute circle time, story time, puppet play and happy singing. Each March Break Camp music time encourages discovery and exploration and fosters sharing and social skills too. In this special place for musical, social and emotional learning, your children will strengthen their appreciation for music or begin to develop it. They'll start developing the skills they'll need throughout school and on the neighbourhood playground.

Exploration Time encourages a child's discovery of specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements. Language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation, and vocal play; Music & Movement Story Time encourages emergent literacy skills; and creative dancing affirms a child's urge to move. It will encourage socialization, sharing, and participating in group activities. Singing becomes a focus for enhancing your child's vocal development as his/her expressive language is just beginning to emerge. Students explore many facets of the musical experience-speaking, singing, moving, dancing, listening, creating and playing instruments.
