Rockin' Week Camp is a fun and exciting musical day camp for boys and girls ages 10-17. Rock music is a major part of the camp, but all styles are welcome to participate. Although open to all instruments, Rockin Week Camp is geared to singers, guitarists, bassists, drummers and keyboardists. Rockin' Week Camp offers students the opportunity to work with other musicians under the guidance of professional working musicians. One year playing experience is preferred. Lets get ready to rock. Camps will be held from 9-4:30. (Pick-up by 5:00) in Garfield NJ, West Paterson NJ, Little Ferry NJ, Wayne NJ at William Paterson University.

Campers will be involved in all aspects of being in a band from writing songs and practicing, to performing and learning about the music business. Rehearsing songs as a group and working together is stressed and is an important aspect of the camp. For a listing of activities click here.

By the end of the week students will gain a better understanding of what it takes to be in a band and the dedication, practice and hard work that goes along with it. Students will record the songs on the last day of the camp in the studio and will receive a copy of the CD shortly after the camp is completed. On the Saturday evening following the camp, students will have the opportunity to perform at well known venue and play on a professional stage with full sound and lighting systems. A DVD of the performance will be available as well. Added this year will be seminars on Pop Music Theory using examples from Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles to Blink 182, Greenday, and Metallica .
