Join Rockit this summer as we present an educational musical program for young musicians. Learn the dynamics of playing in a band with students who have the same passion for music. Experience first-hand how Rockit has become the premier music program in Monmouth County. Learn how to audition and play in a band with confidence and discipline, form your own band and choose songs. Learn improvisation and music theory, watch live band demonstrations and learn how different musical sections are combined to produce a song. Participants will perform an intimate concert in the Count Basie Theatre rehearsal room.
REQUIREMENTS
Vocalists, drummers, guitarists, bass guitarists, keyboardists, brass and string players are encouraged to join our camp. All students must have had private music studies for at least eight months.

This innovative weeklong camp will cover: laying down tracks; recording and completing your own song with a band; microphone use placement and patterns when recording instruments; how each instrument is processed, tracked and overdubbed; the basics of starting a session in Pro Tools and mixing the audio with emphasis on EQ, and mastering. Camp is appropriate for musicians or those interested in the engineering process. Musicians will have the opportunity to have their instruments recorded for a CD created during the week-long camp perspective.
