Our expanded space has also made it possible to accommodate larger audiences, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere for all our shows.

Summer Camps at Cornerstone Music Cafe – A Creative Fusion of Yoga, Art, and Music

We were thrilled to be featured in a recent CTV News segment, highlighting the unique and enriching experience our summer camps offer. At Cornerstone Music Cafe, we believe in the power of creativity and self-expression, which is why we’ve designed our camps to include a harmonious blend of yoga, art, and music.

Why Mix Yoga, Art, and Music?

Integrating yoga, art, and music into our summer camps provides a well-rounded experience for students. Yoga helps students center themselves, improving focus and relaxation. Art encourages creativity and self-expression, allowing students to explore their imagination. Music brings it all together, allowing students to express their emotions and stories through sound.

Special Guest Instructor: Ali Wick

One of the highlights of this summer was having guest music camp instructor, Ali Wick, join us. Ali mentored the students in expressing themselves and guided them through the process of songwriting. It was incredible to see the students blossom under her guidance, creating music that was both personal and powerful. Ali’s approach to mentoring not only helped students with technical skills but also empowered them to find their voices in their music.

A Memorable Experience

This summer camp was truly a great experience for everyone involved—students, instructors, and parents alike. The blend of yoga, art, and music created a dynamic and supportive environment where students could thrive. We’re so proud of the creativity and growth we witnessed over the summer.
