In this special 5-day camp, students will analyze some of the greatest compositions of the last 60 years and learn how to write their own songs. We will even dive into some of the fundamental concepts of recording.
CAMP DESCRIPTION
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, recording our new original material and all culminating in a live debut performance. Great for students 8-18 years of age who have had previous instruction.
Please note: We do ask for this session that campers have some experience in their instrument and have some fundamentals down so that we can ensure that the camp week is fun for everyone!
