BEGINNER GUITAR CAMP

Learn to play guitar from scratch and make new friends in a fun week-long beginner camp.

YOU CAN DO IT!
And we can even supply a loaner instrument. Kids get to spent quality time out of the house, learn an instrument, socialize and make new friends! Taking part in this week-long camp could be the beginning of a lifetime's worth of creative joy with no risk! :)

One Week Camp
Half-day each day
Monday thru Friday

These group lessons are held in one of our comfortable professional studios. There is a maximum of 8 students allowed in the class so each individual can get specific help if needed.

One of our friendly instructors will cover the basics which include:

• Holding the guitar and posture
• Holding a pick
• String names and guitar anatomy
• Understanding reference materials for later
• How to play a basic melody, picking a single string
• Fundamental chord shapes
• Basic strumming and rhythm
• Playing chords together

Materials include songbook and a workbook. We will provide a healthy snack for the students each day. There's also a performance for parents at the end of the last class to show what your child has learned. This is always a great source of pride for everyone :)

BAND CAMP

In one week your child will be jamming like an expert even if they've never played in a group.

If your child needs a new challenge or could benefit from being inspired this is a great class. Students can get to see their own musical ability jump by leaps and bounds just by working within a group context.
We've had many thankful parents come to us and tell us that their child has really benefitted from being involved in learning an instrument and more so from being part of an organized group.

One Week Camp
A Full-day each day
Monday thru Friday

Learn to play your part in familiar songs! This is a fun active class where students get to interact musically and create new relationships. Each class is a full day from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm with a break for lunch.

Our instructor will carefully pick material that suits the group so that everyone can be on the same footing musically. You will also get to pick a crazy band name, every band has to have a name, right?
We're also careful to select students of the same approximate age group so that the players are more compatible.

There will be openings for guitar, bass, drums and percussion, keyboards and vocals! Lessons will be held in one of our own fully equipped studios. We'll supply the drum set, keyboard and amps. If you play guitar or bass just bring your own instrument and picks. If you're a drummer bring your favourite set of sticks. Vocalists and keyboard players need not bring anything other than smiles, we'll take care of the rest :)
There's only a maximum of 6 student allowed per group so book early!

While in the class the instructor will also focus on other essential elements of playing within a group:

• Focus on steady beats and consistency
• Basic rhythms, 12-bar form and improvisation
• Developing stage presence for performance
• Song structure, individual sections of a song
• Using volume and dynamics effectively

Materials include song sheets and a workbook. We will provide a healthy snack for the students each day. We will hold a performance for parents in our large waiting area at the end of the last class to show what your child has learned. Again, this is always a great source of pride for everyone involved and a great opportunity to record your child performing, either with video or with pictures.
