Music Media Lab and Intensive
June-July-August 2020
Join us for a summer of music-making with weekly private lessons, music workshops and masterclasses, and an intensive camp session July 20-25 with faculty and special guests!
Dream.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to write a song. Maybe you want to record a pop album. Or maybe you have a collaboration to share with your friends. Whatever it is, you will tell the story online and dream BIG.
Practice.
You draw the craft in and hone your skills. Its not perfect so you try again. And again. Until you can make it sound better than you dreamed. Then you are ready to record your dreams and make a product you are proud of.
Create.
After working so hard on this dream of yours you get to produce it into something, utilizing the technology you have at your fingertips, and the guidance from the fine instructors at our online camp. Achieve greatness in a single week!
