We are back! Music camps this summer at Chelsea Elementary School: Announcing La Petite Fanfare’s 2012 day camps!

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

La petite fanfare music camp in Chelsea is a bilingual day camp for children aged 5 to 12. Your child can develop his or her taste for music and improve his or her instrumental abilities. Held in a country setting at Chelsea Elementary school, on Old Chelsea Rd in Chelsea, La petite fanfare music camps will provide a positive, creative and safe learning environment.

While beginners are welcome, children who already have some knowledge of music can also continue and expand their learning with qualified music teachers.

Exceptional teachers and staff and rich and varied activities mean that the camps can allow each child to explore and express his or her own creativity.  Each two-week session will conclude with the staging of an original musical comedy for parents and friends. All the children will participate in the world premières of the shows, on July 13, July 27 and August 10.  The camp’s regular activities will be geared to producing this musical comedy, including instrumental music, choir, dance and rhythm, and theatre. Physical activities and games will be held outside, except when the weather is bad.
