MUSICMAKERS! MISSION STATEMENT

MusicMakers! Summer Camp (aka MusicMakers!, Inc.) strives to provide a safe, fun, musically educational camp experience through which children ages 6-14 develop:

• Self-Awareness, Character, and Respect for Others. Campers have fun through self-discovery; experience teamwork and cooperation; practice consideration and awareness of others; develop self-discipline, integrity, and perseverance; participate in wholesome, character-building activities; develop leadership traits and lasting friendships, and acquire respect for various cultures and styles of music.

Page 46: WELCOME TO. Hello MusicMakers! Counselors Welcome! You ROCK! Thank you for volunteering to be here! I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE YOUR HELP!

MUSICMAKERS! MISSION STATEMENT

• Musicianship. Campers develop or enhance existing musical skills and knowledge, as well as transfer musical, scientific, and historical knowledge using reading, writing, and mathematical concepts and physical skills.

• Community Service. Campers share their love of music with others through community service projects, recitals, and finale concerts.

Page 47: WELCOME TO. Hello MusicMakers! Counselors Welcome! You ROCK! Thank you for volunteering to be here! I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE YOUR HELP!

MUSICMAKERS! MISSION STATEMENT

It is hoped that your child’s experience with us will ignite his or her interest in further musical study, and that your eyes as parents are opened to the many ways music teaches life skills and weaves all academic subjects together.

The study of music lays the foundation for academic achievement by developing sustained concentration, expressive capabilities, & perseverance. These skills are then transferred to all other academic studies.

Page 48: WELCOME TO. Hello MusicMakers! Counselors Welcome! You ROCK! Thank you for volunteering to be here! I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE YOUR HELP!

MUSICMAKERS! MISSION STATEMENT

The prolonged study of music has been shown to dramatically increase student achievement on SAT tests... Playing or singing music stimulates both sides of the brain simultaneously, thereby strengthening a person's overall thinking ability!

Finally, sharing music with others educates, cheers, and communicates compassion for others. ROCK ON!

Page 49: WELCOME TO. Hello MusicMakers! Counselors Welcome! You ROCK! Thank you for volunteering to be here! I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE YOUR HELP!
