YACHT ROCK CAMP DESCRIPTION
This broad music style and aesthetic is commonly associated as one of the most commercially successful genres from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. Drawing on sources such as smooth soul, smooth jazz, R&B, and disco, common stylistic traits include high-quality production, clean vocals, and a focus on light, catchy melodies.The term yacht rock was coined in 2005 by the makers of the online comedy video series Yacht Rock, who connected the music with the popular Southern Californian leisure activity of boating.This camp features great opportunities for not only vocalists but all instrumentalists as well. Great for kids of all levels who have had some previous instruction. The matieral is suprisingly challenging!

I learned years ago how valuable the School of Rock motto is for young musicians - they put on shows to teach music! The performance aspect of learning music gives kids the ability to own the stage with confidence and charisma! - Kendra C.
