Dear Preparatory Division Singers and Families:
We invite you to join us this summer for Cantabile’s Singing Summer Camp. Cantabile has partnered with the Parks and Recreation Departments of Los Altos and Los Altos Hills to offer this exciting summer camp. Our program offers singing, theater, crafts and outdoor fun all taught with Cantabile’s signature Kodaly/Orff approach to children’s music education for a truly enriching and exciting experience. This year camp is offered for three one-week sessions each with a different musical theme. Campers can sign up for one, two or all three sessions. Cantabile’s Singing Summer Camp is a non-auditioned camp for children entering first-fourth grade in Fall 2015.
We will hold a performance on Fridays for families and their invited guests. Children will experience teamwork and build social skills through making props together at camp, preparing their production for an audience. This is where creativity starts!

Weekly Camp Themes
Peter and the Wolf Week 1 (7/6-7/10)
Children will learn to improvise melodies and movements by understanding the concept of leitmotif, a recurrent theme throughout a composition that describes a character. Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev, is loved by children from all around the world. This famous orchestral musical tale is a perfect way to understand the timbre of different instruments since each different character has a specific instrument that represents it in the score. Based on Cantabile’s signature youth music education model Teacher Jina will help campers combine the elements of speech, rhythm, movement, dance and song to present a full musical play of Peter and the Wolf.
Ahoy There Mate! Week 2 (7/13-7/17)
Children will hoist the sail and join the pirate crew in Greg Gilpin’s “How to Be a Pirates.” This mini-musical introduces an ornery yet sweet Captain and a reliable First Mate who transform landlubber students into pirates. Through story and song, the shipmates dress in pirate costumes, raise the Jolly Roger, spy with telescopes, find buried treasure, and show “thar” pride in a raucous pirate party. This is fast-paced, funny, and perfect way to splash summer away! Children will be making their own props and costumes for this full stage production.
Tell Me a Tale Week 3 (7/20-7/24)
Our Tell Me a Tale program exposes children to world cultures through music. This week features new tales from around the world, explored through multi-instrument and multi-cultural elements each day. The tales include an around-the-imagination adventure of stories from Europe, Malaysia, India, South Africa and other cultures. This collection brings storytelling and literature to life through music. Through singing, dancing, and instrument play, children will discover five delightful folk tales that represents the rich, diverse, humorous and profound legacies of the cultures and eras they feature.
