East Hampton Music & Art Summer Camp - Our Approach

Minutes from East Hampton, in the heart of Bridgehampton, music and art enthusiasts of all ages (kids, teens, adults) join our camp and afternoon classes to further their development in the world of music or art.

Students lean music from a variety of approaches. One approach we follow is to let “let the tune be the teacher.” Students start playing songs within the first five minutes of their first class. As these aspiring musicians progress with the song, they are learn the note names, chords, scales, harmony, rhythm and more.

For more advanced musicians the concept is the same, as students progress wit the song they are learning more advanced concepts such as inversions, voicings, syncopation, improvisation and more. 

The concept is simple. When you are learning music that you love and having a great time with friends, it's easy to learn technique and theory. When you let the tune be the teacher, a momentum is created that is inspiring to see! See you this July!!

Teamwork, The Music and Sports Connection

There are definitely many similarities between sports and music. The importance of teamwork is what first comes to mind. Musicians in Rock Camp, our music camp in Bridgehampton, New York, rehearse and learn the music together, and adjust in real time to what everyone is doing on stage.

Basketball legend, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, says it best. 

"The whole idea of teamwork for a basketball team and a jazz group is basically the same.  You have to work within a tight structure of time, space, and rules, and you have to find room for personal expression while supporting each member in time and reacting to what they do in time and space.  Jazz shows how these constrictors can be liberating rather than confining."

 Here is a short clip of the basketball legend, Kareem Abdul Jabbar talking about attending his first music concert, Duke Ellington and the jazz-like quality to his playing.  Here is another clip of him speaking at Lincoln Center.  So good!
