Music, Art, Drama
Join us for an unforgettable adventure with Rainbow Fish! Your little ones will dive into the magical world of Rainbow Fish, exploring it from the shore, atop a rock, and even underwater. We’ll bring the story to life through music, singing, movement, dancing, art, and drama. We’ll even sprinkle in a little science and literature to make learning extra fun! Each day promises an exciting and enjoyable adventure.
On the last day of camp at 2:30 p.m., we’ll have an art show where the campers can showcase their creativity. Then, we’ll put on a play based on the beloved book Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister.
Our experienced faculty is thrilled to have the opportunity to interact with your young learners.

Piano Workshop
2026 Dates TBD
Register and Submit Deposit Online | Early bird Registration June 3 | Workshop Flyer
Co-Directors Joanna Reeder and Mandy Kung
Kick off the Fall Semester with a weekend Piano Workshop. This will be like a condensed piano camp, and will help piano students get energized about the new year after a slower paced summer break. Intermediate and advanced students will have opportunity to collaborate with String players. Performance opportunities, coachings with guest clinicians, theory and technique challenges/games with their peers along with new technical challenges will invigorate the students as they dust off the rust that accumulated during the summer months!
Rising 2nd grade through 12th grade students will be divided into 2 groups: Elementary and Middle/High School. Participants must have a minimum of two years of private lessons. Stay tuned for the workshop schedule.
