Learn how to craft your own songs at this amazing songwriting camp! Choosing one or two songs to focus on, students will study composition techniques, musical styles, instrumentation, lyrics and more. At times, campers will be split into small groups to study concepts that are relevant to their particular skill level, age, and interest. Students will also receive private one-on-one assistance with their song or songs and have supervised, independent practice time. Students will learn the skills necessary to create professional sheet music or demo recordings and will leave with sheet music or CD in hand! At the end of the week, students will have the option to perform their song at a local venue, with supporting faculty band (if needed).
