North Carolina Boys Choir and Girls Choir is offering a FREE half-day music camp and workshop for all children in the community, age 7-13.
The music camp and workshop takes place Saturday, January 11th, 2020, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., at Binkley Baptist Church, 1712 Willow Drive, Chapel Hill, in the Fellowship Hall.
To register your child, follow the above link.
Camp requirements:
- Open to all Triangle area boys and girls (7-13 years old).
- No prior singing experience is needed.
- Love of singing and a wish to learn classic vocal and performance techniques.
- And (importantly!) a desire to have fun with other boys and girls while learning great music!
At the camp:
- Professional vocal training, music theory introduction and lots of fun activities.
- Snacks and water provided to campers at no cost.
- The added bonus is that participation in the day camps supplants/ takes place in lieu of a formal choir audition. They will listen to your kids’ voices in a fun, low key camp environment among the group of their peers. Children do not realize that in addition to having a good time at the camp, they are being auditioned too. This camp-based “audition replacement” works very well for shy kids.
