Music Composition Camp
Come to start or develop your music writing ideas and skills! Open to musicians Grades 3-8, any instrument/voice. (If it's portable, bring your instrument!) We will explore different approaches for improvising and music writing, and depending on the personal projects and ability level of the campers, we will work to develop your song ideas, make recordings, and use an online music composition program to write down your ideas. We will listen to creative examples, and talk about song structure, melody, accompaniment, rhythm, and more. You'll have the opportunity for an optional performance on the last day in the OA auditorium, for campers who would like to share some music they have created. Amanda Jensen has collaborated to help write nearly 200 songs for vocal/piano and other instruments. She will encourage students in creating their own music, and in building confidence to continue using and developing those skills at home. Bring any lyrics or song ideas you want to dive into, and if you don't have any yet, just bring your creativity!
