JustHope Partners, United Church of the Valley in Murietta, CA, have been making music in Chacraseca for 5 years! Along with paying a music teacher in the schools, every summer they offer a Music Camp for children and teachers!
This June they are at it again and you are invited to join!
Using traditional Nicaraguan folk music, sessions will be offered teaching kids to sing and to play the recorder, chimes, guitar, the keyboard, drums, and the marimba! (UCV has also donated instruments for to the schools for the kids to use.) AND sessions will also be offered to teach the Nicaraguan classroom teachers how to continue the learning by incorporating music into their teaching.
Last year, students from past years' music camps were back teaching the younger kids!
Long term...
these two global partners (UCV and Chacraseca) hope to develop a Music School in Chacraseca where youth and adults can learn to play instruments and do traditional Nicaraguan dancing.
Whether you sing or play an instrument; whether you teach or just assist, we would love to have 3-4 music lovers join us June 22 - 30. More trip information here.
