  • WESTFORD SUMMER MUSIC & ART PROGRAM…..

The Westford Summer Music & Art Program (WSMAP) is now accepting registrations for July 2013.  Students will have the opportunity to make music and create art in two separate morning programs. Students will work with Westford Public Schools instrumental music and art staff to develop their individual skills and experience the arts with other interested students.  The Art Program will be held July 8-12 from 8:00 AM until 12:00 PM at the Blanchard Middle School and is open to all students entering fourth through ninth grade in September 2013.  The summer curriculum is designed to develop formal skills while encouraging individual artistic expression.

The Instrumental Music Program will be held July 15-19 from 8:00 AM until 12:00 PM at the Stony Brook School and designed for students with at least one year of instrumental music instruction entering grades four through nine (string orchestra) and grades five through nine (band) in September 2013.  At the culmination of the program, the band and orchestras will perform a free concert on Friday, July 19 at approximately 11:00 AM.

New this summer!  If student interest allows, we will offer a string chamber music directly following the elementary and middle school string orchestra sessions on July 15-19.  This option is available to students enrolled in either the summer elementary or summer middle school string programs.  Participation in the string chamber music will give students the opportunity to participate in an intensive, small group ensemble coached by Todd Hamelin.  For more information and registration please visit: www.westfordk12.us/summermusic.
