Introduction:
Hello. My name is Phil, and I am the director of Lightning Ant Music School (LAMS) and for the first time ever, we are SUPER EXCITED to offer weekly summer rock band camps to eight lucky participants for each week in July. This is a family run school consisting of my two kids, Isabella and Lucas, and myself. Isabella is the bass teacher at LAMS and the bassist for local alternative, stoner rock band Pollux; she also plays the guitar, the keys, and sings. Lucas is the drum teacher at LAMS and the drummer for Pollux. I am the guitar teacher here at LAMS with 30 years of live performance and teaching experience and a Bachelor of Music degree in performance. You will be receiving mentorship and coaching from three highly qualified musicians who are actively involved in the local music scene and have been regularly teaching music and preparing LAMS students for rock shows for the last four years.
Description:
No experience is needed to join this camp, but it is an asset. During the five days at our home, you will learn how to rock in a real band setting, and you will work together in your band to prepare for a live, recorded performance held at Congress Coffee Company on the last day of camp. Being in a band will teach campers about teamwork, camaraderie, and collaboration, all within a fun, safe, and educational environment.
The camp will also include supplementary music activities such as drum circles, drum pad exercises, and rhythm games. Bassists will learn a few slap techniques and riffs; guitarists will learn a few licks and chord progressions; and drummers will learn a few fills. We’ll have free-style jams where we apply the musical concepts we’ve learned to be able to improvise and create music on the spot.
These five days promise to be an exciting, fun, uplifting, and memorable musical experience topping it off with a recording of your performance you will receive to keep forever!
