Sing, sing a song...

Two summer programs are available for elementary-aged school children right here in Amherst!

The first is called SING! Jr. and is for 7-11 year old children who love to sing. There is also an older program for 12-18 year old girls. SING! And SING! Jr. will take place from July 11-15 at Amherst College. You can visit our website at www.singthissummer.com. Here is a bit more about the program:

SING! and SING! Jr. are happy to offer a a fun musical, social and recreational experience while maintaining a focus on healthy vocal production and expanding musical skills. We give students the opportunity to explore the full range of their vocal ability through classes that highlight a variety of vocal styles and genres, such as choir, musical theater, voice lessons and a cappella. We also offer recreational activities such as movement class and opportunities for indoor and outdoor games and swimming. You can email us at singthissummer@gmail.com.

The second is Strings@Smith, which is for 8-18 year olds who play stringed instruments. That will take place from July 17-22 at Smith College. This is an exciting week of music and fun for young string players who can participate in classes such as orchestra, technique, chamber ensembles, fiddling, drumming and dance and more. We also offer recreational activities such as games, trips to downtown (accompanied by a counselor) and swimming.
