Extreme Drum and Guitar School Summer band camps!!!
We are having 4 camps (2 for the 7-10 year olds, and 2 for 11-17 year olds)
Welcome to the Extreme Drum and Guitar School band camps!!! What better way to get summer started then to have them spend a week of fun jammin' out in their very own rock band, designing their own marketing packet, and participating in team building activities - all while learning from the best professional musicians in your area. That's what EDG Band Camp is all about ' a bunch of kids, having a good time while learning how to rock out!
Monday morning begins with friendly and professional staff introductions. The kidz have a chance to meet and briefly get to know the other campers as they listen to songs from the EDG Band Camp song list.
Next, we will identify your child by his or her instrument preference. (Remember, there is no experience necessary at EDG Band Camp. Kids can play whatever they want.) We then put everyone into their bands for the week. Each band chooses a song to work on, and then they decide on their very own band name. Then it's time to get the show on the road.
Professional counselors will instruct your child on how to get started in a real rock band situation.
Your child may first need help on how to properly hold a guitar, bass or drum stick. The proper technique is not something we take lightly. We strive to make sure we start rockin' with the right habits. Or maybe your child has played for a while and is in need of some intermediate instruction. Our counselors have worked with all ages and skill levels.
Drummers are often backed up with a teacher kit. Bass players often learn a simple line while keyboardists tap out distinct melodies. Singers are instructed on the importance of projection and stage presence. We refuse to be fooled by the age of our campers. Some are born rockers. The great majority, however, will simply need some gentle encouragement and positive reinforcement to get settled in their first full band experience.
When the bands aren't rockin', the creativity is still flowing. Each band will make its own professional promo packets. The contents of the packets will include a band designed logo, cd cover and insert, business card, band bio and band photo. The final packet will be on display after each band performs their song at the Friday concert. Each camper will bring home a professional marketing piece that is sure to wow family and friends.
