Rudiments
Rudiments 1: Notation – a study of the elements of basic notation, simple time signatures, note and rest values, and accidentals.
Rudiments 2: Scales & Keys – a study of major scales, major key signatures, and compound time signatures.
Sight-Singing
Sight-Singing aims to help you read new music as easily as you read a newspaper. Students learn various tips to help in sight reading, and have opportunities to practice skills through class exercises.
Sight-Singing is divided into Levels 1–2. You should choose the Sight-Singing level that corresponds to your Rudiments class level. If at camp you find this is too high or low for you, you can switch classes.
Leading Group Singing
Congregational Workshop
These workshops involve practicing singing skills as a congregation. They will strengthen your congregation’s singing ability while introducing important musical concepts and hymn book skills that will help grow your church singing. All students will attend congregational workshops.
These sessions are also open to the public – all are welcome!
Learning Healthy Singing (Thu, 8:15pm, Wendell Nisly)
This workshop gives pointers for singing with freedom and vitality, learning to use the voice in a healthy way. Some drill will be used, but much instruction happens in the context of singing hymns. This might be thought of as an “instructional hymn sing.”
Reading Songs by Sight (Fri, 8:15pm, Lloyd Kauffman)
This workshop offers a refresher on reading new music. It includes drill on the do re mi’s, along with a refresher on how shape notes work. These skills will immediately be applied first in familiar hymns, then in unfamiliar songs.
Join the choir and experience the joy of singing in a group.
Students say it’s their favorite part of camp!
Choir is a fun way to put the things you’re learning in class into practice.
Two Mixed Choirs
These are choirs with men’s and women’s voice parts. Each student will be assigned to a mixed choir.
Mass Choir
All adult students participate in the mass choir.
Chapel & Congregational Workshops
In chapel, we reflect on the meaning of worship as it is taught in Scripture and we respond to God in love and obedience. At the same time we practice worshiping God. Chapels help to orient the focus of camp around what really matters: God’s presence and his kingdom.
In the congregational workshops, we practice singing skills as a congregation. This will strengthen your congregation’s singing ability while introducing important musical concepts and hymn book skills that will help grow your church singing.
These sessions are open to the public – all are welcome!
Chapel: Thursday-Friday, Mar 27-28, 7:15pm
Congregational Workshops: Thursday-Friday, Mar 27-28, 8:15pm
