What does it mean to play our part? How do we listen to others to hear how all the parts come together in harmony?Let’s play, compose, act, and create together in harmony. We’ll explore the four pillars of music: Rhythm (counting), Melody (1 note at a time), Harmony (2 or more notes at a time), Songwriting (form & lyrics)—with no instrument experience required. Instruction is tailored to each camper’s level of experience. Expect some silliness as we develop skills for approaching performance with joyful ease!
Middle Way School SUMMER of WONDER welcomes all children for outdoor adventures and inward exploration! Five incredible weeks feature splashing in the sun, collaborative games, wilderness skills, arts and crafts, meditation, and more! Each week is infused with the Buddhist-inspired wisdom of awareness, tools for centering oneself, creating confidence, and building community.
Customized by age group, each session also features a unique theme to allow for a deep dive into special interests—music, theater, creative writing, nature exploration, and more. Super-skills for a modern world are effortlessly woven into the day, like harmonious play, contemplative approaches to challenges, and cultivating an open heart and mind.
