Modern Rock Summer Camp is a five-day camp, Monday-Friday, 9:00 am - 3:00 pm, with a half-hour lunch
break each day. This camp is designed for kids 9-17 years of age who want to
play music and perform live on stage!
Campers will explore the incredible music of the bands from the Modern
Rock Era which is widely considered as the 1990's to present day. Campers will learn about and perform music
from bands such as Foo Fighters, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Coldplay,
Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Skillet, and Muse, etc. At the camp, we will
choose a variety of songs from these bands, and with input from the campers
that will allow each musician's appreciation of these bands to grow and prepare
them to perform live on stage at the end of the week at an authentic Memphis rock
venue. Whether you are a beginner or
advanced musician, we will keep you engaged, challenged,
and totally ready to rock out at the show on Friday
night! We will spend the majority of the time working on the chosen songs and
getting ready to perform the concert at the end of the camp for friends and
family. Participants can expect to learn more about their instrument, how to
use professional gear in the rehearsal room and on stage, and how to perform
the songs in the show. In addition, they
will also learn how to critically analyze music and how to recreate, as close
as possible, the sound that was created by the original artist. We will also
discuss the art of stagecraft and presence (performing in front of an
audience), as well as how to get the right tone and sound out of the
instrument. Campers will learn how to work with sound engineers and how to set
up for a performance. In addition to the musical aspects, campers
will also learn teamwork, accountability, goal setting, communication skills,
and will have a great sense of accomplishment and confidence for the hard work
and discipline it will take to make the concert happen at the end of the week. Campers will be directed by members of our
awesome faculty, and will have assistance and interaction from camp counselors
made up of our more experienced and advanced School of Rock students. Come
experience music education the School of Rock way and live out your Rock &
Roll dreams! *******PLEASE NOTE: THIS CAMP IS NOW SOLD OUT *******
