Campers will explore and create music, digital keyboards, and computer software. They also will learn how to use virtual sounds to compose songs and accompaniment tracks. Participants will be able to record themselves singing or playing guitar, piano, and band or string instruments, along with making beats and creating music for video games. Camp participants will then be able to share their project portfolio through social media. Previous music experience is helpful, but not required.
