With the excitement building, the Manchester Community Music School recently announced their 2010 Summer Camps & Music Program. MCMS summer private lessons are open to all ages and run in four, six or eight week classes in 30, 45 or 60 minute sessions. Through the MCMS summer programs, students are able to gain basic skills and knowledge, master new challenges, or simply continue their programs with a current instrument. Summer program selections are offered in a wide variety, ranging from Music Theory to Jazz Camp, from Licks and Riffs: Guitar Camp to Music and Me, a program formed specifically for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, along with the accompaniment of a parent or an adult. Special summer camps are Joy of Music for grades 2-5, Camp Crescendo and Music’s Cool Camp for grades 5-8.

“Summer is the perfect time for students to try a new instrument or to spend extra time on their music studies”, said Jeanine Tousignant, CEO of Manchester Community Music School. “Our goal with the summer programs is to offer students the opportunity to try music or further develop their skills in a relaxed, fun summer setting.”

MCMS summer programs are currently open for registration. All Private lesson dates and times are arranged on an individual basis. MCMS 2010 summer camps & private music lessons will begin on June 21, 2010. For more information about MCMS 2010 summer programs, please visit their website, www.mcmusicschool.org, or call 644-4548.
