ABOUT SONGWRITING CAMP
PLEASE CONTACT US FOR ELIGIBILITY Through this special 5-day songwriting camp, students will learn how to write their own songs! Students will analyze some of the greatest compositions of the last 60 years in order to develop their own tunes. They will learn about chord progressions, arrangements and other tricks of the trade. We’ll spend Monday through Friday learning and writing songs, all culminating in a live performance. This music camp is great for students 10-17 years old who have had previous instruction.
For musicians ages 10-17, music education is an exciting journey that lets them dive deeper into rhythms, melodies, and the thrill of creating something uniquely their own. At this stage, they’re ready to take on bigger challenges, learning to play real songs on instruments like guitars, keyboards, drums, and more. Whether they’re rocking out on an electric guitar or mastering beats on the drums, kids get to explore music in a way that feels rewarding and fun. Learning music at this age helps sharpen focus and boosts memory, especially as they work on remembering notes, chords, and sequences. Playing in groups teaches teamwork and listening skills, as everyone learns to stay in sync and support each other. It also fosters creativity, giving students the chance to experiment with different sounds and even start writing their own songs. Beyond the skills, music gives these young teens a powerful outlet for self-expression. Performing in front of friends and family builds confidence, helping kids feel proud of their progress. Music education not only teaches them new skills but also gives them the thrill of playing, experimenting, and discovering their own voice in a fun and inspiring environment.
