Teen Week

Learn songs from all-time greats and today’s favorites, from the Beatles and Led Zeppelin to Bruno Mars, Imagine Dragons, and more! On the first day of this workshop, rock bands will be formed according to musical ability and instrument. If you have even a basic knowledge of your instrument, you’ll be amazed at what you can do in Youth Music Project’s beginner-level band. This camp runs from August 13–17. More-experienced student musicians will be matched with others at their level for a challenging and rewarding rock and roll experience, culminating with a smashingly great show beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday!

The Friday concert includes performances from all the participants from both the Rock Band Experience and the Songwriting Workshop, fully mixed by Live SET students. We’ll have a pizza party for students from 5 to 6 p.m. before the show begins at 6!

Class runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday – Thursday, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday. Camper Concert will run from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday evening.

You have a song inside of you — let the world hear it! Professional songwriters help get your creativity flowing as you learn the building blocks of writing great songs. Explore ideas, write lyrics, compose melodies, create chord progressions, and get ready to perform. By the end of this week-long workshop, you will have new tools in your songwriting tool kit to use for the rest of your life. This camp runs from August 13–17. All our songwriters are invited to share their songs, whether finished or incomplete, at the big showcase on Friday night!

Learn the art and science of sound engineering with top professionals in the field! Over the course of teen week, students will explore how to manipulate sound and why sound systems work the way they do. Students will have hands-on practice connecting PA systems, running a mixing board, setting up a stage for a performance and sound checking fellow camper musicians. This is a one-of-a-kind chance for young musicians, music fans, engineers, technical artists, and creative types of all kinds to learn a valuable, interesting, and employable skill — how to make live music and amplified audio sound its best in performance settings.

Teen week culminates with a Friday concert featuring the music of the Rock Band Experience and Songwriting Workshop students, fully mixed by Live SET students, in Youth Music Project’s state of the art Meteor Lounge.
