As Pingry Partners, Elefante Musical Theater Camp is adhering to The Pingry School’s Covid-19 safety and wellness protocols.
Pingry, as an ACA (American Camp Association) accredited campus, follows ACA guidelines which currently call for masks to be worn at all times. Some guidelines may be a “moving target”, as CDC and ACA protocols about masking, etc. are subject to change.
Elefante will have a large outdoor tent where singing will take place, and ample indoor space for social distancing in our other classes. Mandatory weekly saliva testing is in place. Pingry has many prominent hand sanitizing stations, and has installed updated air filtration systems.
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.
