Harmony Music House is hosting 3 weeks of Summer Guitar Camp for Kids (Ages 9 to 12)

Harmony Music House has a developed a Summer Guitar Camp for students that are at a beginner playing level. Our campers will be introduced to the beginning fundamentals of guitar playing, which include, tuning, learning chords, playing single note melodies, rhythm techniques, and more. Each day the students will be introduced to new songs, and continue playing the songs that have already been introduced. We will cover material that ranges from Folk and Bluegrass, The Beatles, and modern popular music. We can even survey the kids to see what kind of music they are interested in playing, and make adjustments.

In order to break up three hours of straight guitar instruction, the campers will have a chance to get outside. North Boulder Park is right around the corner, and as long as the weather is permitting, we will take a walk to the park to get some energy out, and have a little free time.

Instrument required - yes ( There are many styles of guitars. An acoustic guitar, or a nylon string guitar will be best suited for this class). If your child doesn't have a guitar on hand, we do have a few guitars available, but please let us know if you need one so we can reserve it for you. Acoustic guitars can be purchased at a fairly inexpensive rate. You might want to try Craigslist, or we can guide you if you'd like to buy something new.

Harmony Music House of Boulder is hosting 4 weeks of Summer Ukulele Camp for kids (Ages 5 to 9) in June, July, and August

The primary focus of the camp is to get your child playing ukulele, hand-drums, and singing. There will be direct instruction in all three areas which will all relate to American Folk Music. In between these lessons, the day will be filled with games and activities that are music related and incorporate basic music theory.

Ukulele: The children will learn basic chords and strumming patterns. These techniques will be applied and used while singing songs. We have developed a Ukulele method for children that requires no prior musical experience. We tune the Ukuleles to an open C tuning, which makes it much easier to make chords with the left hand. Regular Ukulele tuning requires much more complex hand shapes. We have found that our method allows children to begin playing on the first day.

Singing: The children will be introduced to a variety of singing songs. Formal voice training will not be a part of this program. We will just allow singing to be free and FUN.

Each day we will meet at Harmony Music House for morning circle. We will have a chance to spend time together and share what we are doing for the day. We will decide, weather pending, if we will walk over to North Boulder Park and continue our day under the trees and the playground, or stay in the cool air-conditioning at the house.

Deluxe Camp: (Private daily piano lessons)

In addition to day camp we are offering a daily private piano lesson, which can be scheduled before or after our regular camp hours. We are offering these lessons at a discounted rate of $30 per 30 minute lesson. This option will give your child a more in depth opportunity to study music with their own private teacher. The lessons will take place on all four days, giving them the opportunity to explore another instrument privately. Since these are daily lessons, it is not necessary to have your own piano at home to practice on. The cost for piano lessons will $120 in addition to the regular camp rate. You can sign up for this option below under Deluxe Camp. There are only two spots available per session. One before and one after camp.
