Students do not need to be Suzuki students to attend. We welcome all violinists, violists and cellists. Students will receive three classes a day plus an hour of lunch, concerts and fun activities. The week concludes with a Friday concert where we show off everything we have accomplished in just a few days. This is the perfect time of the summer to get a boost to summer practice and head start on the new school year.

We also offer an optional fiddle class (open to all instruments) and private lessons!

Register for Kindermusik Summer Camp Register by Friday, June 30 for the 2017 Kindermusik Summer Camp!
 
Kindermusik is a music and movement program with curriculum for children ages birth through seven years old. More specifically, Kindermusik classes provide a holistic musical and learning experience in the critical first years of young children and their families. This developmental program, guided by a proven methodology combining music and childhood development, provides opportunities to foster child-parent relationships and gain a lifelong love of music and learning. Kindermusik is great preparation for future Suzuki students as well! It is taught by a trained and licensed Kindermusik educator. The SIUE Suzuki Program presents "Kindermusik with Ellen Singh" which provides you with this program!
 
"Carnival of Music" for children ages 2-5

5:45-6:30 p.m.
Monday-Thursday, July 10-13
SIUE Early Childhood Center
 
Children are compulsive music makers. They hum while they play, sing along with music in the car and love the opportunity to use wooden spoons and pots from the kitchen as drums. That’s why they will absolutely love Carnival of Music. They will develop comfort with instruments and their ability to play them, increasing their likelihood of playing instruments as they get older. The music and activities in this unit will invite and expand their natural tendency to sing and move, allowing the development of a strong musical foundation for future enjoyment and pursuit.

First child registration fee is $75 with each additional child at $25 each. All class and digital at-home materials are included with the camp fee. One digital at-home materials package per family. The non-refundable class and digital at-home materials fee is due in full with registration form, and confirms your space in class.
 
At least one participating adult must accompany the enrolled children in the summer camp class. Please feel free to contact Ellen Singh with any questions, at esingh@siue.edu or ext. 2839.
