Nurture Music ‘n’ Me with camps Call it Wood River idol By JENNIFER LIEBRUM Express Staff Writer
If your kid’s rendition of songs from the hot musical “Frozen” could use a little fine tuning before you sit through it for the umpteenth time, Music ‘n’ Me is the place. Throughout summer, voice coaches are offering a variety of topical camps to suit all levels of ability and interest. There is nothing more fun than a toddler learning to groove. “Music, Mommy & Me: Music and Movement,” for ages 18 months to 3 years will prove that point. Ages 3-5 can learn about, make and perform their own instruments. For the bigger littles, those 4-6, The Wide Mouth Frog Musical, a
movement, instruments and set creation class is offered. Or, The Fairy Tale Plays, A Musical for 4-6 year olds with a more princess-y bend. If you know a single 7-11 year old that can’t sing a song from “Frozen,” remedy that asap with a chance to create a winter wonderland, act and sing scenes from the film. Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp, Music Jamzz for ages 6-11 gets to perform live at the Wicked Spud in Hailey. And, if you’re seeking another form of communication, there is beginning American sign language for kids 6-7 with an adult, and 8 and up. Credit/debit cards, payment plans, upon approval. For a schedule call 720-3918 or email notesmusic@msn.com.
