Learning Goals
Each student will come away with a better knowledge and appreciation of these Broadway classics through listening to and performing them with fellow camp mates!
In each class, we will work on the songs as a group and assign individual parts for each student to sing.
Taking the time to discuss the characters and their unique perspectives gives the students creative insight and freedom to develop their version of the character.
