Each summer, the MSU Community Music School (CMS) offers summer camps that appeal to a range of interests, from choral music to rock to music therapy. All camps are held at either the MSU Community Music School or on the MSU campus and there are volunteer opportunities available!
CMS needs adult and youth volunteers most for the 14th Annual Eric ‘RicStar’ Winter Music Therapy Camp taking place June 13- 15, 2016 (children, adolescents, young adults) and June 16-18, 2016 (adults). This is a summer day camp that provides opportunities for musical expression, enjoyment and interaction for all people with special needs and their siblings. More information about the camp and the volunteer forms can be found at http://cms.msu.edu/el/special/musicTherapy_ricstar.php?el_special_ricstar or you can contact Jaime Merritt at [email protected] for volunteer information.
Additionally, CMS often needs youth volunteers for the Beginning Strings Camp taking place August 1-5, 2016. This camp will introduce violins, violas and cellos to children ages 6-12. It’s 5 days of hands-on instruction by professional string teachers and instruments are provided by CMS for students who do not have one. These volunteers need to be high schoolers or early college students and late-intermediate to advanced string players on violin, viola or cello. Interested volunteers should contact Dr. Sue Garber at [email protected] with a letter of interest.
