Camp Do Re Mi

Space is available on this event! :-D

This weekend covers some of the finest music from the American shape note tradition, the
oldest American a cappella harmony singing tradition. It uses a distinctive notation that makes it
particularly easy to learn if you don’t read music. Its sound has been described as ‘hillbillies
singing Renaissance music’. We focus on songs in The Christian Harmony, the Mennonite
Hymnal and Southern gospel music song books: loaners will be available as well as books for
sale.
No previous musical or singing experience is necessary and we welcome everyone: children
and adults, those who think they can’t sing (you can sing shape note music!), experienced
singers and everyone in between. If you are new to singing or shape note music, there will be
an introductory class each day.
We also have fun and fellowship, with a beach bonfire, fireworks and sparklers, weather
permitting!
Due to the popularity of this event, room sharing is to be expected and there will only be space
in the community for those participating in the event.
