Summer Rock Camp is an ideal music program for students
ages 8-18, with beginner, intermediate and advanced levels, who want an
immersive rock ensemble performance and recording experience.
Campers
spend 2 weeks working in a hands-on environment, learning real
performance and recording techniques and the joys and complexities of
being in a rock band. Campers will enjoy forming a band with others at
their playing level, learning new songs from their favorite bands,
composing original songs, improving their skills, and developing their
band’s identity and logo all the while working with some of the top
professional working musicians of Santa Fe. This access to established
music professionals who will share their experience and knowledge
will help young musicians understand some of the options open to them in
the music industry.
Campers
will enjoy Pizza Fridays sponsored by Upper Crust Pizza, record a CD at
the professional audio recording facilities such as Stepbridge and Frogville Studios, will
perform in a live concert and will enjoy the opportunity
to visit 98.1 Radio Free Santa Fe for an on-air and in-studio interview
and will have a song from their CD played live on air to promote the
concert finale.

camper will receive a professionally mastered CD of their songs, a DVD
of the concert, some swag, a camp T-shirt a working knowledge of
songwriting and performing, and memories and experiences that they will
cherish for a lifetime.
