FIND YOUR INNER ROCK STAR WITH NEW ROCK CAMP FROM BRITT!
Applications are now being accepted for Britt’s first
annual Rock Camp. Rock Camp will be held July 18-22, 2011, and is
focused on regional musicians, ages 13-17, with intermediate ability
on guitar, bass, drums or keyboard.
As part of a new slate of educational programs offered by Britt this
year, Rock Camp is designed to bring young musicians together, and
will offer hands-on on instruction in electric guitar, electric bass,
drums and keyboard. The camp will include performing as bands, song
arranging, sound systems, recording techniques, vocals and more.
Students will also get an insider’s peek at the Britt concerts that
week.
Rock Camp’s faculty is comprised of high-caliber musicians from the
West Coast: Teri Cote, Bob DiChiro, Jeff Pevar, Dirk Price and David
Scoggin. Collectively, the faculty has decades of national and
international touring, recording and teaching experience.
Multi-instrumentalist Jeff Pevar, who has worked with artists such as
Crosby, Stills & Nash, Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, James Taylor,
Jefferson Starship and others, says, “I am thrilled at the
opportunity to be of service to the young aspiring musicians attending
the upcoming Britt Rock Camp. I wish I could have gone to something
like this when I was learning to play.”
Tuition for Rock Camp is $300. Space is limited, and applications will
be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. More information
about the camp, including faculty bios, an online application form and
financial aid information, is available online at
www.brittfest.org/rockcamp.
In addition to Rock Camp, Britt will again offer the String Quartet
Academy this summer from July 29-August 13. The String Quartet Academy
is geared toward intermediate to advanced string students, and is
taught by the Arianna String Quartet. Limited spots are still
available; camp and application information is available online at
