MusicWorks! is an El-Sistema based program whose primary goal is to empower children to achieve their full potential through the study and performance of music. Students (grades 2-8) will learn an instrument from the string family (violin, viola, cello, bass), and perform as a string orchestra, and in smaller string ensembles. Classes include individual and group string instruction, chorus, music theory, and music history.
Instruments are provided for campers.
