The third annual SJZ Progressions Summer Music Camp is off to a great start at Valley Christian Schools. Forty-five students are participating in the camp, which runs July 11-22. This year, beginning composition and improvisation classes have been added to challenge and excite our developing musicians. Camp staff are taking advantage of the music lab at Valley Christian and experimenting with the best methods for exposing students to apps like Garage Band and other music technology software. The end-of-camp takes place Thursday, July 21 at 6 pm at Valley Christian Schools, 100 Skyway Drive. It is free and open to the public. Progressions is hiring for the 2016-17 school year.

It challenges students with a rigorous program and stays with them through high school graduation. Our mission is to keep children in school, out of gangs and on the road to becoming better citizens. We have already worked with more than 500 kids in the Franklin-McKinley School District.
