Ear training, song structure, rhythm patterns and group playing are all part of this week-long introduction to music. In this music camp, students will learn about all the different rock instruments and begin their introduction to music theory and music appreciation. This camp is designed for 5 to 7-year-old students who have little to no experience with music. This five-day camp runs Monday through Friday with a performance at the end of the last day.

What Will Each Day Look Like?
Each day at Rookies Camp is designed to spark curiosity and excitement about music! Campers will start with fun, interactive activities that introduce them to rhythm patterns, song structure, and ear training. Throughout the day, they’ll explore different rock instruments, learning the basics of how they work and how to play together as a group. Our engaging, hands-on approach helps young musicians develop confidence while having a blast. At the end of the week, students will showcase what they’ve learned in a special performance for family and friends!
