5-WEEK SUMMER CAMP (Adults)
This quintet emerged from the L.A. punk rock scene of the late 1970s and in 1981 released their debut album “Beauty and the Beat.” A first for an all-female band writing their material and playing their instruments, the LP topped the Billboard album chart and remains an achievement yet to be matched. “Beauty and the Beat” is considered one of the “cornerstone albums of US new wave” (AllMusic).

One Week this Summer JULY 6 -

In record time, this
band will settle on set of songs, and rehearse them all week long,
and then put on a show on Friday!
Join this band. In our Rock Band Camp you start
playing together the very first hour and you don't stop. All levels
welcome. You'll learn how to really play in a band. While making
music with your peers in the rehearsal studio, you'll get better at
your instrument and develop your skills—and your swagger, but
especially you're understanding of band arrangements and how to
play with a group.
*TEEN rock
camp is generally for high-school aged kids, while
TWEEN camp is
primarily for middle-school aged kids.
All levels welcome.

RECORDING AND MIXING BOOT CAMP
The tools of production have never been more accessible. A modest
home setup can do things that would have required a professional
studio not long ago. But great recordings have always been more
about approach than equipment, and that part hasn't
changed.
Recording & Mixing Boot Camp gives musicians, songwriters, and recording enthusiasts the foundational skills and techniques that make the difference. Over six weeks, you'll learn to record and mix in a home studio environment, not as a technical exercise, but as a creative practice grounded in the way professionals actually work.
The course follows a real production from start to finish, covering signal flow, mic placement, tracking, vocal recording, editing, and mixing. In the final session, you'll put everything together recording a live band. It's a hands-on experience where you'll work with real gear, learn alongside other musicians, and get direct help tailoring what you learn to your own setup.
Each week consists of a Sunday concept session and a Wednesday hands-on lab. Sunday sessions run from 11am to 12:30pm, giving you time to absorb the material before putting it into practice Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9pm. The course culminates in a special 3-hour live band recording session on the final Sunday, where you'll put everything you've learned to work in a real recording situation. If you make music and want to make better recordings, this course is for you.
What you'll cover:
- Setting up your studio and understanding your signal chain
- Planning a production with your artistic vision at the center
- Microphone placement and tracking techniques for instruments and vocals
- Managing a recording session: takes, comping, and communicating effectively with everyone involved in the production
- Editing your recordings and preparing them for mix
- Mixing fundamentals: EQ, compression, reverb, and delay in service of the song
- Recording a live band from setup to final take
