INSTRUCTORS: WPS Music Educators Christopher Zini (Director), Caitlin Brighenti, and Samara Schwartz
This is our 9th summer hosting the K-1 Wakefield Summer Music Camp for students entering grades 1-2 (completed K-1)! This music camp is an extension of the music instruction provided to students during the regular school year and is only available to students of Wakefield residents. For children of all musical abilities, students will engage in “Tuneful, Beatful, and Artful” activities, learning a wide variety of songs, games, and movement activities. A final “showcase” performance will be given on the last day of camp. Please note that repertoire and activity selection changes from year to year, so no two years are the same! Please email Mr. Zini with any questions!
