Beat Maker 101 Summer Camp
This 5-day camp is designed to bring out the inner beat maker artist within each camper. Campers will learn that you do not need to be a musical genius to be a good songwriter or artist – what you only need is an understanding of the creative process, knowledge of what makes beats work, and have a passion for creating music. Campers will learn the basics of beat-driven genres, audio recording, mixing, drum machines, sampling, and more. On the final day, campers will have the opportunity to visit a professional recording studio for a tour and to listen to their musical projects and beat creations.
Throughout the week, campers will create their own beats in various genres, including hip-hop, drum and bass, EDM, and pop, and will be given the opportunity to record them at the end of the camp.
