 Brand New Summer Day Camp!!
Beat the end of summer boredom with a Rock Camp for Teens aged 13 - 17. This camp is for a range of skill levels from beginner to advanced students. No matter what your skill level, a great attitude and willingness to learn is a must!
What is camp going to be like?
Morning warm up will start the day to get everyone ready to play, followed by some time to work on instrumental skills. In the afternoon we move into band sessions, writing original music and learning a couple of your favourite songs to perform at the end of the week.
You will meet new people, form friendships, learn new skills, and play a lot of music!
This camp is about being creative, having fun, learning new things, and working on rock and roll skills like guitar, drums, bass, keyboard and vocals. It is about exploring new ideas, writing and presenting your own music. It is being open to the unexpected joys and challenges of working as a group. There is no better way to expand your skills as a musician than to play with other musicians!
Expectations:
1) Be the best you can be each day. Give it your all!
2) Bring in a good attitude, leave your ego at the door!
3) This experience is inclusive, not exclusive. We want everyone who participates to enjoy the experience. Diversity and originality are strongly encouraged.
