Haverford Township Summer Music Program Registration

esidents of Haverford Township are once again invited to enroll their children in The School District of Haverford Township Summer Music Program for elementary and secondary students.  The program offers a unique summer experience for children interested in music; whether they want to advance their instrumental skills or learn the basics, the program has something for everyone. 

“We are pleased to continue to offer the residents of Haverford Township a convenient and affordable outlet for their children to experience music,” stated Dr. Bill Keilbaugh, Superintendent of The School District of Haverford Township. “The summer music program has consistently been a success and we are proud to contribute to the cultural growth of the children within our township year round.” 

The instrumental program includes beginning, intermediate and advanced instruction in violin, viola, cello, string bass, trumpet, trombone, French horn, baritone, tuba, flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, saxophone and percussion. Ensembles will be available to students with at least one year of previous study. 

The choral program is offered to children who enjoy singing and have completed grades three through five. Participants will learn a variety of songs, which will be part of a performance on the last day of class. Vocal technique, posture and breath control will be emphasized. Students will also gain experience in choral movement and folk dance, part-singing and varied conducting styles. There will be opportunities for solos and playing rhythm instruments.

All classes will be held at Chestnutwold Elementary School beginning June 25. Students may opt for either of the two 3-week sessions or the full 6-week program. The first 3-week session will be held June 25th through July 13th; the second 3-week session will be held from July 16th through August 3rd; and the full 6-week session will be held from June 25th through August 3rd. More than one music class can be taken, schedule permitting.
