The Musical Secret Agent (MSA) Piano Camp is a four-day, two-hour-a-day camp designed for piano teachers to use with children ages 6-10 with no musical background or beginner piano students in their first or second year of piano lessons. Students will be captivated by the “secret agent” theme, and will enjoy becoming a musical spy, making up code names, decoding secret messages, detonating explosives, and trying to catch the suspects…all while learning important musical concepts of steady beat, the musical alphabet, stepwise direction, keyboard geography, and simple score reading. Students will engage in multi-sensory learning through listening activities, workbook practice, cup rhythms, water games, Boomwhackers (or other rhythm instruments), and time at the keyboard. At the end of the camp, students take home their workbooks with more activities to extend their learning.

Goals of The Musical Secret Agent Piano Camp include: 1) Teaching and reinforcing foundational musical concepts; 2) Having fun with music through a variety of activities; 3) Equipping students with tools to continue music-making independently; and 4) Generating excitement around making music independently and in a group.

The Musical Secret Agent Piano Camp is a great way to introduce prospective piano students to your studio and give them a taste of what piano lessons might look like. It is also a fun supplement (or alternative) to summer lessons for first or second year piano students. Many of the included activities lend themselves nicely to further use in the piano studio throughout the year as review games.
