Laguna Beach, CA – The Collective Sound Music Academy will be bringing its original touring summer rock music camp for teens, age 12-18, to Costa Mesa, June 27th to July 16th at the Vanguard University Campus.
This year, the non-profit TCS will also be offering a second, two-week program in Portland, OR, without the tour component, from July 18th – July 30th at Concordia University.
Both programs focus on creative collaboration, dividing students into bands where they work together, using today’s music technologies, to write, record, and perform their own original material, shoot a music video and create an EPK. Industry related field trips and workshops, as well as extra-curricular activities such as volleyball, swimming, soccer, games, and movies are also part of both programs.
The three-week program in Costa Mesa includes a tour component where students perform at venues across the state for local headlining bands.
Another first this year, is the option for students to participate in both camps for a total of 5-weeks of fun in the world-renowned summer rock music camp.
Online registration is happening now at TCS Summer Music Camp Registration for all levels of musicians with a focus on guitar, bass, drums, voice, keyboard/piano and electronic music. Registration deadlines are May 28th for Costa Mesa, and June 14th for Portland. Early registrations before April 16 th (Costa Mesa) and May 7th (Portland) are eligible for tuition discounts. Scholarship applications are also available online at TCS Summer Music Camp Scholarships
“As soon as camp was over, I couldn’t wait for it to start up again,” says student, Andrew Rywak.
