CAMP DESCRIPTION
Ear training, song structure, rhythm patterns and group playing are all part of this 4 day introduction to music. In this camp, students will learn about all the different rock instruments and begin their introduction to music theory and music appreciation. This summer camp is designed for 5 – 7-year-old students who have little to no experience with music. This four-day camp runs Monday through Thursday with a performance at the end of the last day.
WEEKLY SCHEDULE
- Camp runs Monday - Thursday, 10am - 2pm each day
- Each day will consist of rehearsals, practice time & fun music-based game & activities
- On Thursday, campers will play and perform the songs they’ve been working on throughout the week! Performance will take place in "The Blue Room" inside of School of Rock Katy.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Students can expect an exciting and educational 4 day experience of learning music taught by our talented camp instructors. Each day, students will be asked to bring lunch, snacks, water and hearing protection.
At School of Rock, we are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all campers. To help us maintain this space, we ask parents to avoid packing any nut products in lunches or snacks. We also prohibit any toy or real weapons from being brought to camp.

The instructors were very patient and gave clear instructions. The camp was well structured and my kid learned a lot in a short space of time. Most importantly, it was fun! - Sharda R
