Music School and the Final Frontier
Music and space immersion. The cosmos has inspired a ton of great music. Music has also been historically understood to be a reflection of cosmic order, and the workings of the cosmos, a gigantic musical composition. Group activities and projects (drumming, singing, chanting, concentration and music theory exercises and games) focus on space-themed music and films. Along the way, we'll cover same basic lessons about the universe, our solar system, planets, moons, stars, comets, gravity and more. And for kicks, we'll do some goofy things like using pool noodles for light sabers.
Musical source selections will range from famous orchestral film scores by Williams and others to their inspiration in Gustav Holst's The Planets and tone poems like Also spruce Zarathustra by Richard Strauss. We'll tie in other famous tv and film scores, including Star Trek, 2001: A Space Odyssey, ET, Interstellar, and scenes like the playful tone pattern dialogue from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Popular and rock music with literal or metaphorical references to the cosmos, outer space or space travel will also be incorporated, including Bowie's Space Oddity, the jazz standard Fly Me to the Moon, and more modern works by Ligeti (Atmospheres), John Coltrane (Mars), and Miles Davis.
Private lessons on the instrumet of choice included.
Students divided by age and skill level. Beginners and more experienced students welcome.

Day Pass
Sometimes parents don't want or need to enroll a student in full or half day camp for a full week. In this situation, we offer Music School Day Passes, which allow for a day of camp attendance on chosen days:
- Full Day Pass, $85 per day, drop off begins at 8 am, pickup ends at 6 pm
- Half Day Pass $60 per day, morning or afternoon
To purchase Day Passes, simply fill out the Day Camp Registration Form and choose from among the Music School Day Pass options provided.
After making your payment, you can register to use the Music School Day Pass for any day, in any camp, at any location for up to one year, with limits. IMPORTANT! Please note: Music School Day Pass spots are limited and offered on a first-come-first-served basis. Spots are reserved by purchase, payment and then completion of the Music School Day Pass portion of the Day Camp Registration Form. With rare exception, we require 24 hours notice of a parent's intent to use a Music School Day Pass. The more advance notice you provide by completing the form, the more likely it is there will be a spot open for a student. You should assume that your enrollment dates are accepted once you receive a confirmation message from a CMC Atlanta Director or authorized faculty member.
