Mask Policy
We are currently mask-optional for Jump-Start summer camps, but as we continue to monitor COVID-19, we will change the policy if necessary.
In this general music class, students aged 5-8 will play fun activities to learn the notes of the musical staff and different musical rhythms, be introduced to instruments that make up a band and an orchestra, and be taken through the different periods of music while learning about different composers. Students will create their own compositions based on what we learn!

Upright bass, also called string bass or double bass, is a member of the orchestra family. Just as often, however, it appears in jazz, bluegrass, folk, and other genres. With a large hollow body and 4 thick strings, the tones produced by the upright bass are low and rich. The instrument is capable of long, expressive tones when played with a bow; and short, percussive tones when plucked with the strings. String bass is a dynamic and impressive instrument to play!
The oboe is a woodwind and a member of the double-reed family. It is played by blowing air through the reed, attached at the top of the instrument. The reed consists of two very thin pieces of cane, pressed together with a small opening to allow air to pass through. The sound can be high in pitch, but it has a variety of colorful tones, from bright and piercing to low and mysterious.
