Ages: 4- 6

Our Little Rocks Camp is for students ages 4 to 6. This is a music exploration camp. Students will be exposed to rhythms, notes and songs with various instruments. They will learn to clap and sing along and will also get a chance to play different instruments, including the piano, the guitar, the drums and anything else that shows up during the week! It is designed to get students excited about music in general.
The benefits of exposing your children to music are endless - "Further research has shown that participation in music at an early age can help improve a child's learning ability and memory by stimulating different patterns of brain development," says Maestro Eduardo Marturet, a conductor, composer and musical director for the Miami Symphony Orchestra.
