Young Songwriters Summer Camp June 2 - 4 | 10:00am - 3:00pm Havilah Rand, instructor Let’s fire up our creativity as we write and record songs! Award winning songwriter and educator Havilah Rand has been leading Young Songwriter Summer Camps for over a decade with rave reviews from kids, parents and administrators. We’ll engage in a variety of activities such as theater games, word and picture collaging, strolling through urban neighborhoods and nature, journaling, and more to find inspiration for song topics and lyrics. As our songs take shape, Havilah will support musically as much or as little as needed. We will record all creations using a basic recording unit and high quality microphones. Those who play instruments are encouraged to use them but no musical skills or past experience are required. There will also be opportunities for those who are interested in sound engineering to learn more about the use of microphones and basic recording gear. Our work will culminate with a CD and journal for each participant to take home. We will celebrate our creations with a short performance on the last day of camp from 2:30pm - 3pm at the GMAEC Art Garage.
