Songwriter/Music Video Workshop 7/23-7/27 July 23, 2018

Students get a crash course in creativity this week! Our experienced staff members will guide campers through the various processes of writing, recording, filming, and editing all in the course of a single week. The focus of this workshop is primarily creativity rather than performance, however, on Friday afternoon students will exhibit their hard work with a live performance of the song they spent the week writing, as well as showcase the finalized video for their friends and family members right here at School of Rock: Seekonk. Students should bring their own snacks and lunches during the week, with the exception of Thursday when we will order pizza for all the kids.
