Alexander (age 3) conducts his own music classes at home. He pretends he's Mr. Rich, playing air guitar and telling us to keep the beat and sing the echoes."

"My daughter's first experience with Music Rhapsody was in the summer camp. She was six and had never taken music classes before, and it was also her first summer camp experience . . . the staff made her feel really comfortable. She jumped right in and got very involved. I don't know a lot about the Orff approach, but I know that it is wonderful. They make it seem like it's just fun and games but it's definitely learning. That's part of the magic of it . . . I would definitely recommend this camp!"

"My three kids love music so much, largely due to Music Rhapsody. When they first went to camp, I didn't know exactly what went on there . . . Pretty soon they were playing instruments that they had picked up in camp. They also learned how to keep a beat. I never knew it before, but rhythm and timing is a really important thing. It helps them in other areas of learning and sports."
