MISSION: In the interest of connection, and putting more love in the world through music, CB&S! seeks to honor and nurture the creativity of every participant, regardless of previous skill, ability, or talent. Everyone is encouraged to make instruments, create songs, and sing/vocalize daily. Participants should plan to attend the entire session, as our work will be cumulative, culminating in a group concert.
Camp includes:
- Singing (learning songs, group singing, and vocal technique)
- Body percussion (fundamentals of rhythm)
- Songwriting (new songs each day, plus refining and editing those already created)
- Performing (learn how to be comfortable on stage)
- Improvisation (making it up as you go)
- Homemade instrument making (from found, recyclable, and craft objects)
- Ensemble playing (duos, trios, full band)
- Games (music and rhythm games, plus more)
- Community Service (bringing music to a retirement home, or hospital)
- Swimming (M-Th, weather permitting!)
