Many kids dream of becoming a rock star. The lure ofthe lights, the roar of adoring crowds and the exhila-rating beats are almost irresistible for some. Whilethe fantasy might feel unattainable, the musicians atTemple Israel’s Shul of Rock summer camp are dis-covering their inner rocker and living that dream.

Their band is called Pentagon, and 7-year-old Stella Rosen ex-plains the genesis for the name. “There are five sides on a penta-gon and there are five people in the band.” During the school year,these band mates play together in Temple Israel’s after-schoolmusic program, which welcomes participants of all ages and skill

levels. As an extension, the summer camp was cre-ated so young musicians could continue to hone theirskills and expand their repertoire.

These campers are playing all the instruments youmight expect, including drums and electric guitar,but unexpectedly, they’re composing their own mu-sic. On the piano, Stella and a friend wrote the mainidea for the song “Before the Storm,” which wasfurther developed by the band. Stella’s 12-year-oldbrother, Ezra Rosen, said, “We added in differentthings like drums and such and we have what wehave now.”

Asher Kasper, 9, said that “the first time that weperfected it, it was on a stormy day.”

Camp leader Alex Molina offers gentle guidanceand helps campers learn the ins and outs of being in aband, including caring for and setting up the instru-ments and equipment. “We put the strings on theguitar. Asher takes apart the drum set and puts itback together. Ezra set the settings on his pedal. Weall set up the microphone for the piano because wefelt it wasn’t loud enough on its own.”

Though Molina refrains from the rigidity of moretraditional music lessons, the instruction he providesis no less valuable. Asher’s brother, 12-year-old Za-chary Kasper, said that one of his favorite things thatMolina taught him was “how to do a fill-in, which is abunch of strikes on a snare drum in a certain pat-tern.”

There’s a pervasive spirit of unity within Penta-gon, but individuality is also celebrated. Molina en-courages the band members to improvise solos and tocome up with their own ideas for unique rhythms andcompositions. As a friendly teasing about one bandmember’s breath, the group came up with a new songtitled “Old Milk.” Though the song’s inspiration wasplayfully immature, the way the band members inter-act is anything but.

Though soft-spoken, Molina’s voice filled withpride as he addressed the campers. “You guys areexcellent, you work together, play together, you talkwithout even using words.” It is clear that Molina isas engaged in the creative process as the young mu-sicians he is nurturing. “I just like hanging out withthese guys and making music. It’s the best part of myday.”
