Make your home burst with creativity this summer! Take a virtual trip with friends to places of summer fun-the Beach, the Mountains, the Rainforest and more ---all in the comfort of your home, balcony or back yard! Through these environments, our day is filled with musical adventures of rhythm, instruments and dancing. In art, we will create original pieces by exploring a variety of materials like paper, fabric, and recyclables through the processes of painting, drawing, collage and more!
This class will give you and your children activities to continue throughout the week to reinforce their exploration of creativity. Make this a fun-filled summer for the whole family!

  • To register for a single week ($100.00), please email mcramer@greenwichhouse.org.

Itzen, Colleen

With over 20 years of teaching music and movement classes from age 2 through Lower School, Colleen’s specialty is to reinforce teachers' curriculums through singing, movement, playing instruments, musical games and stories, and learning fundamentals of music. Through a multi-sensory, hands-on-approach to learning music, each child's music potential is explored and developed. Percussion, Hand Bells, Recorders, and Orff instruments are taught in conjunction with the curriculum and used in performances. In addition to a percussion background, Colleen teaches piano to all ages, including adults. After graduating Magna Cum Laude in Piano Performance with a Bachelor of Music from Covenant College, she continued her education with classes at the Juilliard School Extension Division, and has certification in the Orff, Kindermusik, and Musikgarten Methods of teaching and is also a member of MTNA (Music Teachers National Association.)
