Song Writing For Teens: July 17 - 21
Does your child have a knack for composing or improvising?
Did you know that you can write an entire song with only just 4 chords? This unique camp teaches students how to write their first song in a "pop" style of 4-note chording. Students will have time to compose their first song, enjoy improvisational activities and ear training games, perform their song in front of an audience, and learn to create their first social media post on a platform that they choose such as Instagram Reels. The goal of this camp is for students to begin documenting their song writing journey. This camp is best for students who have shown an interest in composition and the facilitator would be able to help guide them forward. Students are expected to spend an additional 30 to 60 minutes each day outside of class time to work on their songs at home.
