Welcome to the 2017 Summer Session at the Community School of Music and Arts! Summer is one of our favorite times of year at CSMA. The school is full of

creativity, laughter and fun in our art camps and music workshops.

This summer, we are proud to announce some exciting new additions to our line-up of camps, classes and music workshops.

- The Summer Strings Institute (pg. 22) for advanced strings players will give students a conservatory-like experience to learn and practice their craft alongside members of the San Francisco Symphony.

- Our new Jazz Saxophone Sectional (pg. 28) for intermediate sax players will be a fun way to learn more about horns and their contribution to jazz ensembles.

- Our new Design for Print class (pg. 18) will give both traditional and digital artists the opportunity to create their own patterns and designs to be printed on fabric, wrapping paper and more.

We’re certain that whatever your artistic passion, we have an opportunity for you to explore it here at CSMA. We hope that you and your family will join us this summer for a creative adventure!

We are committed to making the arts accessible to every student in our community and offer a generous financial aid program. To learn how to begin our simple financial aid process, please see page 4 of this catalog.

On behalf of CSMA’s staff, faculty, and Board of Directors, thank you for being a part of our community, for supporting our programs and for believing in the power of the arts!

Little Musicians 1This engaging, interactive family music program is designed as a first musical experience in a nurturing and creative environment. Little Musicians 1 will explore musical contrasts, steady beat, rhythm and melody using finger-plays, actions songs, basic instruments and movement. Each class will be a mix of teacher-led activities and individual exploration. At the end of the session, children will feel a bond with the instructor, have confidence to participate fully in a group situation, anticipate the sequence of the class, be aware of high/low, loud/soft, fast/slow and find these contrasts in voice, instrument and their environment. Please Note: Parent/caregiver attendance is required.

Our Preschool faculty In Their Own WordsMUsIc fAcUlTY

christina stein“I have a background in music from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. I have taught music and movement to young children for several years and also have a thorough knowledge of brass instruments and music theory. I enjoy exposing young children to the joys of music making!”

ART fAcUlTYlena Boot“My passion is working with preschool-age children, giving them opportunities to be creative in art. In the style of reggio Emelia, I provide a creative art environment that gives children the opportunity to observe, inquire, explore and use fine motor and cognitive skills. Art provides them with an awareness of themselves and their surroundings.”

Daniel garcia“I have worked many years as an early childhood educator and I weave music into my daily curriculum. My background allows me to bring a unique teaching style to my classes, incorporating singing with guitar, musical games, movement and exploration of rhythm instruments.”

Ximena Vilela“I love encouraging preschool age children to find their own creative individuality through hands on and motor skills experience. I graduated with an AA degree from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise and have been teaching art to preschoolers for 2 years. I am currently studying for my child development certificate.”
