The group experience will provide children with the opportunity to accompany group singing on guitar. Participants must have their own guitar.

Singer’s Club
Ages 5 & Up
Singer’s Club has been such a successful Summer program over the last couple of years that we decided to include it in our regular programming. Instruction is a musicianship approach to singing, founded in solfege (Do Re Mi) and focused on teaching pitch. Pitch in a child’s voice is fully developed by age 9, so it is critical to teach these skills early. As with all our classes, our focus is on the joy of music and singing. We teach with a lot of mainstream and Disney music, as well as traditional songs.
All are Welcome! (50 min. class) – $357 per session.
Note: If your child is a beginning music student, the curriculum flow chart below will help you determine the appropriate starting point in our curriculum.
