ToneLab: Songwriting Camp: Aug 10th – 14th (Ages 10+)

Students in ToneLab will experience the thrill of making music together through songwriting! Students will learn the fundamental techniques of writing lyrics, melodies, harmonies, and musical accompaniment, combining all of these elements together to create songs of their own. With the guidance of Common Tone teachers, students will be given artistic control over their preferred musical genre, arrangement style, and sonic identity, which will encourage collaboration, communication, and problem-solving. At the end of the session, each student will have a song that fully represents their artistic vision and a chance to perform for a small audience. Join us this summer and find your voice through song!

*Parents are NOT required to stay for the duration of this camp. You may drop your kids off and pick them up at the start and end of each day- please make sure that you are walking your child to and from your car to check in with the instructor– we have a busy parking lot, and we are close to the road. Thank you!
