Summer’s the time for a musical road trip with songs about journeys and traveling. We’ll sing our way on foot, horseback, in covered wagons, along railroads and canals, aboard sailing ships and airplanes. Songs like, “Life is a Highway,” “Old Brass Wagon,” and “Erie Canal” will help us along our journey. We’ll learn to play rhythms and compose new sounds, and perform an end of the camp show around the theme of transit in music.
Planes, Trains & Automobiles is the fourth of 4 summer camps offer by The Shedd Institute as a part of its 2013
Summer SongFest program for kids.

Each morning begins with a “warm up”, followed by learning the songs for the week’s theme. They will then get to learn about and play an instrument that has to do with the week’s theme. After a snack the campers will either get a chance to make their very own instrument or get dance instruction based on the theme. The campers end the day with a song circle to prepare them for their performance on Friday:
