About My Voice Music’s Rock Camps:
A fast-paced introduction to music and performance available to individuals with or without musical experience that explores what it takes to be in a band and create music!
Students may learn to play the drum-set, electric guitar, bass guitar, ukulele, keyboards and to sing!
Participants work with experienced volunteers and staff in order to write their own song as a group!
Students are encouraged to use music and poetry to express themselves while jamming, singing and writing lyrics. They work together as a band to choose musical styles, instrumentation, lyrical content and while rehearsing and performing. We ask all youth to bring a positive attitude and a willingness to try new things.
My Voice Music provides all instruments for youth to use during our programs. If a student already has an instrument, they may bring it to class.
