In this week-long 1970s rock camp, students will be challenged to hone the instrumental technique, songwriting and showmanship of the decade’s most influential artists, then bring it to the stage in a show they will never forget! 1970s pop and rock represent a period of artistic freedom, creative expression and experiment. Electric guitars and keyboards became powerful orchestras. Vocalists, male and female, tested the limits of their range. Drums began to sound like beautifully tuned cannons. Musicians and bands combined blues music with pop sensibilities and brought modern music into the limelight worldwide.

In this week-long intensive performance camp we are going to immerse ourselves in the music of our favorite 1980s artists! Campers will experience the decade’s cutting-edge electronic music technology and learn how it integrated with traditional instrumentation. In this week of exciting rehearsals, instrumental lessons and rock history games and activities, we will explore the diverse sounds of this era, from hard rock to glam rock, MTV pop to metal, to the rise of punk rock and how these genres led to such a fantastic period of musical innovation. Be ready for the end-of-week performance that will be sure to blow you away!
