Twin Cities youth musicians prefer the Paul Green School of Rock Music camps. The instructors are all working rock musicians and guest speakers range from touring rock musicians to audio technicians to music professionals.

For 2009 we are offering 4 different types of camps: Beginner Guitar Camp (3 sessions one for ages 8 - 16), Intermediate Guitar Camp (1 session for ages 10 - 18), Rock and Roll Performance Camp (1 session for ages 12- 18) and the Song Writing Camp (1 session for ages 10-18). There are always 5 students per 1 instructor, so there is a lot of one one one attention.

In addition to Summer Camps, the School of Rock offers year-round music lessons in the only performance-based after school music program in the Twin Cities. In this program the kids participate in 1-1 lessons, group rehearsals and perform real rock concerts in real rock venues.

For beginners to advanced musicians ages 8-15. If you never played an instrument, this is a fun and interactive way to get a jump-start. If you’re an experienced player, it’s your chance to study with the best musicians in town and perform in a band. Campers choose from guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, vocals or horns and learn from our professional teachers in a friendly and creative curriculum-based environment.

Camp hours are Monday-Friday 9AM-5PM. During the week campers will:

o Develop creativity
o Improve musicianship
o Gain confidence in performing
o Learn teamwork skills
o Build self-esteem
o Aspire to further develop their musical skills
o Participate in a Friday Night Concert for family and friends
o Every concert is recorded and each camper receives a CD or MP3 file at the end of the summer.
