  • Students should have a understanding of  basic rhythm patterns (quarter notes, eighth notes, quarter rests, half notes, whole notes, etc) and a basic understanding of the lines and spaces of the treble clef, a working knowledge of navigating the Quaver Music site and be ready to SING & MOVE! This is all using our school based Quaver Music Curriculum so students will also have the ability to continue the activities at home after camp! 
  • Campers in the Quaver's World of Music Camp will also utilize the Smart Board, participate in hands on games, activities, and craft projects to accompany the camp curriculum. Students will create a music portfolio throughout the week to enhance the knowledge of music and will take it with them at the completion of the camp.
