Young Songwriters Summer Camp

Class Description

Let's fire up our creativity as we write and record original songs. We’ll engage in a variety of activities such as theater games, word and picture collaging, listening sessions, journaling and outdoor adventures in both natural and urban settings to find inspiration for song topics and lyrics. Writing songs gives us a beautiful and meaningful way to use words in different ways, to use our imagination, to experiment with sound, and to try something new! As our songs take shape, we will record them 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. The final product is something that lasts forever and serves as a reminder that we have the ability to create anything we put our minds to. Our work will culminate with a full-length CD and an informal CD release celebration the last day of camp.
