This program focuses on the technology & song writing aspect of music. So, if your child plays an instrument, they will learn how to record that instrument; if your child sings or raps, they'll learn how to capture their voice; or, if your child has no musical experience, they will learn how to quickly create music using loops. Everyone can connect:
Connect with a live instructor to learn
Connect with each other to collaborate
Connect with the world to share
This in-person, summer program consists of skills to create a song: song writing, production, engineering, vocals, and performance. Sessions build on each other by using the same customized and thematic song with various sections designed to facilitate each session's technical goal. By the end of the week, Rap Campers will have, at least, a song they can publish with an original rap verse they've written and an original beat they've produced.
The instructor for this program is Karim Rushdy. This program runs during the second week of August(6th-9th). Parents/families are invited to the introductory session as well as the final showcase!
