Sound-Wave Music & Arts Offers Summer Music Camps for Teens and Pre-Teens

June 11, 2012—Auburn Hills, MI—When most people think of camp, they think of sleeping bags and bug spray. But what teens and pre-teens really want this summer are camps that include video equipment and electronics. Sound-Wave Music & Arts is offering just what they crave.

At Rock & Record Summer Camp, students will get lessons as a group on drums, guitar, and keyboard. Every day ends with a group jam session where songs will be practiced. Then, on the last day of class, a professional studio recording will be made and each camper will get a copy of the recording on a CD. Snacks will be provided. The cost for this camp is $225.
Ages 10-13, Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m., July 16-19
Ages 14-18, Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m., July 23-26

Students attending Music Video Camp will enjoy their summer while making memories that will last forever. Campers will shoot footage on their own with a professional Cannon HD camera. The Sound-Wave Music & Arts video studio has a chromakey green screen and professional editing software. Students will be able to create their own world on video, set to a song of their choice.
