Happy Music Monday, everyone! A month or so back I (Jillian)...

Mon, 20 Jun 2011 12:16:42 -0400

Happy Music Monday, everyone!

A month or so back I (Jillian) got the awesome opportunity to hang out with Matt & Kim as they shot their new music video, “Block After Block.”

Matt & Kim are one of the best bands I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. They have amazing stage presence. Kim is the ultimate rocker chick - an inspiration to female musicians like myself - and always has a huge smile on her face during shows. I once saw her walk out onto the crowd. That isn’t a typo, she actually walked ON the audience’s outstretched arms, and danced while they held her up. Never to be undone, Matt soon leaped into the crowd as well. Even close quarters can’t keep Matt from flying through the air, not even a subway car, which you can see in the video above! I spoke with Matt about how comfortable and happy they seem on stage, and he told me the secret is that they love what they do - and couldn’t hide that if they tried!

Check out “Block After Block” above!

Children Learn What They Live
By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.

If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.

If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.

If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for…

What do you hope the kids that attend your camp bring back home (as far as what they've learned) while at your camp? <--- Teacher Dare Day question

Mon, 13 Jun 2011 12:04:32 -0400

What an awesome question!

Of course, we love seeing our campers’ musical ability expand as a result of our amazing staff and unique experience. But what is even more rewarding is seeing how they grow as people, in addition to musicians. We witness tremendous increases in their confidence, self esteem, courage, listening skills, and self-expression. They form life-long friendships and have a great time. All of this is a result of our one-of-a-kind programming and core values.

Thanks so much for asking!
