If you love music, you are in the right spot. Rock Camp and Jazz Workshop are two summer camp programs happening this summer in the Hamptons and New Jersey in which students of all ages, teens, adults gather to learn music in a fun and inspiring environment.
ROCK CAMP…..What We DO!
Meets 9-3 pm
At Rock Camp we start with a brief morning meeting where all students meet up and there is a 20 minute hands on workshop (one day could be polyrhythms, another day the music from another country, jam session, etc..).
- We then dive into morning lessons (instrumental or vocals). Students can choose a second instrument for afternoon lessons.
- Students then join their morning band (music chosen in collaboration with teacher, usually spans the history of the music, from the 50's/60's to a song that came out last month. Students also work on original music.
- We break for lunch and students then have time to relax and hang with their friends.....then volleyball, soccer, or they play with others on their own. Teachers also meet with students 1-1.
- Then we have electives, more niche topics (song writing, reading/writing, African drumming, harmony, improvisation, solo guitar, learning logic, sibelius, etc....).
- Afternoon Lessons.
- Afternoon Band, a different band and teacher than the morning.
- At the end of the week students then do a performance for family, friends, and the public.
Jazz Workshop…..What We DO!
Meets 3-5 pm
Jazz Workshop is a music summer camp and workshop in the Hamptons and New Jersey that meets in the afternoons and its goal is to teach students how to play jazz through:
• Lessons (private or small group).
• Ensembles, learning and playing music from the jazz repertoire (Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Dave Brubeck, and many others).
• Instruction on improvisation, harmony and chords, and learning to master your instrument as you grow as a musician and find your voice and sound.
