Sisters’ Voices Camp week for the summer of 2024 will focus on 2nd – 5th graders who will sing with Sisters’ Voices ensembles for the 2024-2025 season. This camp will help singers connect to each other and build musical skills that will be important for the coming year.
Skills are encountered and built through making music together, movement, playing games, working puzzles, and other activities. Camp week is full of fun, and it focuses on building individual skills and knowledge, and on the singers getting to know each other better.
Singers will work on solfege with both Curwen handsigns and musical notation.
We’ll explore good vocal technique through a study of anatomy of breath and voice.
We’ll explore the ways singing is like a sport.
We’ll explore some great poetry and find ways to use elements of music (pitch, rhythm and meter, form, dynamics, articulation) to express the poems.
We’ll learn several pieces of music, focusing on learning to sing in parts and unaccompanied, building in details of expressiveness.
Each day will begin with a thorough warm-up that will include stretching, movement, and aural and vocal exercises.
There will be no public performance at the end of this camp week; it is a treasure that we have time together that is not pressured by the demands of producing a performance. Much of the repertoire that we study during camp will be performed at early performances during the year (if we are selected to perform at the Carrboro Music Festival, etc).
Sisters’ Voices Camp 2024 will take place in the Fellowship Hall and Room 15 at Binkley Church from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. each day. Please reach out to Leandra at leandra@sistersvoices.org if you’ll need earlier care or later care — we can usually accommodate that and will work to find a way for everyone who wants to participate to do so.
Full cost: $325 for the week. A sliding scale is available. Please see the information on the Tuition 2024-2025 page or the table at the bottom of this page in regards to camp tuition this year.
