Curriculum Highlights - January 2018 ~ Dr. Julie DeRoche
Summer Music-by-the-Sea
By beginning a week-long summer music camp for MERSD elementary and middle schoolers’, we hope not only to jump-start the school year by getting students back into their practice on their instruments, but also provide valuable learning experiences that students would not get in a larger school year setting. We will provide opportunities for small group and solo performances, promote independence and leadership in young musicians, and allow young students to interact with and be inspired by their older peers. This more intimate setting will also allow for finely tuned individualized instruction for each student. Finally, we hope that this program can provide students with a fun enrichment of their musical experiences at MERSD, and motivate them to become leaders and role-models for their fellow musicians throughout the school year.
