Let’s Play Chamber Music!
With Miss Bronwyn!
For Violinists, Violists, Cellists, and Upright Bassists — Level 4 and up
Discover the joy of making music together in this one‑day chamber music intensive designed for advancing string students. If you’ve ever wondered how musicians perform as an ensemble without a conductor or wished you could sit down and play with friends in a small group, this workshop is the perfect opportunity.
Throughout the day, students will rehearse in small ensembles with one to two players per part, learning to collaborate, communicate, and shape a piece from start to finish. By the end of the intensive, each group will have prepared a complete work—gaining confidence, new skills, and plenty of musical inspiration.

Let’s Sing Together!
With Miss Grace!
For Ages 6–10 — Perfect for any child who loves to sing
If your kids enjoy singing, this new summer class is the perfect fit. Join Ms. Grace for a joyful six‑week small‑group voice program designed especially for elementary‑aged singers. Each week, students will explore vocal warmups, singing games, songs, acting exercises, and more—all while beginning to learn the basics of music reading and musicianship.
The curriculum is intentionally layered so families who need to miss a week can jump right back in without feeling behind.
At the end of the session, students will share what they’ve learned in a special performance for families on August 11, the final night of class.
