Frequently asked questions
 

Q: Does my child need to bring their own instrument or are instruments provided?

Q: What ages of students attend camp?  Will there be someone close to my child’s age?

A: We have a wide variety of ages from around 8 - 12. We believe that students should gain experience learning from and interacting with students of different ages, backgrounds and abilities. We tend to always have a few students in each age bracket, but each camp is different, and like Rock and Roll, unpredictable.

A: No. But you can take audio/video recordings during the show at the end of the week.
