Camp Allegro Wichita is hosting a music instrument exploration workshop on Saturday, January 21 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. for all youth (elementary, middle school and high school) to provide a hands-on experience with a variety of musical instruments. We will have string, wind, and brass instruments available as well as piano and percussion. Students may attend up to four beginning instrument sessions (30 minutes each). The beginning classes will be led by our camp teachers as well as music teachers from the Wichita school district; we are partnering with USD259 to encourage students to begin playing a musical instrument.
The cost of this event is only $8 and is open to all students (public, private or homeschool); however, we are especially targeting 5th graders who will be enrolling for their middle school classes in February. They will have the option of choosing to play a string or band instrument in the 6th grade. By attending a beginning class, students can decide what instrument they might enjoy playing.
Registration is not required but HIGHLY recommended. To register, go to https://docs.google.com/open?id=0By5UV3sbF6vLZWIxODM4MWEtMjQ4OS00ZDQ5LWJhNTktNzViYWU3ZDc1MTc2 and download the registration form, complete and email as an attachment to info@campallegrowichita.org; please bring your payment with you to the workshop. You may also print the registration and mail with payment to the address on the form.
The workshop will be held at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 909 S. Market St. (located just south of Kellogg between Main and Market streets).
Many thanks to the Wichita school district and Simon McHugh of McHugh Violins for providing us with instruments for this exciting event!
