Touch The Music

Touch the Music is a unique music program that gives children an extraordinary opportunity to be in touch and explore REAL orchestral instruments. In this era of virtual reality with the Iphone, Ipad and WII most of us, young and old, are losing the connection to our tangible world. Touch the Music offers a hands-on experience of the orchestral instruments which stimulates all 5 senses: vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. It exposes children to a whole new world.

Everyone had a great time participating in this awesome program!

"Rak Shalom" at HAMC

This morning we had the privilege of hearing a concert from University of Maryland's amazing Jewish A Cappella group, "Rak Shalom".  As an a cappella group, this group of talented college students do not use any instruments in their performances; they only use their voice and body to make music. They sang an eclectic mix of Jewish/Israeli pop songs, like "Zodiac",  to English radio songs, like "Just Haven't Met You Yet".  The students especially enjoyed a "beatbox" training session where they learned how to make percussive sounds with their mouths (just like a real drum!).  Everyone, students and staff alike, were singing along, clapping to the beat, and really enjoyed this unique performance.

For more info about Rak Shalom, look them up on Facebook or you can visit their website at:

A Shabbaton Shindig

HAMC hosted its second annual Shabbaton on Friday and Saturday for 36 fifth through eighth grade students. It was a spiritual, fun, and unforgettable experience for the students. From lighting Shabbat candles on Friday night and a beautiful Shabbat dinner to Olympic games, singing, a midnight treasure hunt, and so much more.

Havdallah services, which ushers out Shabbat and welcomes the week, were followed Saturday night with the band Spin180 playing all our favorite English and Hebrew songs. Head of School Moshe Vaknin played with the band, and some of the kids joined for a few of the songs.
