Rock Band Camp Experience

For 18 summers and counting, The Music Shed has been the place where young musicians spend a week making music, building friendships, and performing live. Our Summer Rock Camp offers an immersive, week-long experience designed for beginners through advanced players.

Camp Details:

  • Song Selection: Every student gets to choose at least one song for their band to learn
  • Performance: The week ends with a live in-studio showcase for family and friends
  • Tuition: $450 per session for a 5-day camp
  • Experience Levels: From beginner to advanced musicians
  • Additional Programs: Writing & Recording camps are also offered

  • Music theory, rhythm, dynamics, and self-expression
  • Deep listening & playing together
  • Collaboration across multiple instruments

Why Summer at The Music Shed?

Unlike private lessons, camp puts students directly into the band experience—rehearsing together, learning from each other, and gaining the confidence that only comes from live performance. Rock camps are not just about running songs—they’re about building the skills and friendships that make playing in a band unforgettable. Students are encouraged to ask questions, take risks, and be themselves without apologies.

Every summer week ends with a high-energy in-studio performance, where each band takes the stage to perform the week’s songs for family and friends in a supportive, inspiring environment.

When I founded The Music Shed in 2009, I saw so many kids taking private lessons for a year or two before quitting. Why? Because they never got the chance to actually play in a real band. I built The Music Shed to change that—giving students the same teamwork and excitement you’d find in sports or theater, but through music.

Over the years, I’ve seen students grow from beginners to seasoned performers. Some stay for just a semester, others for seven years or more. Many have reached professional levels of musicianship, but all have built confidence, friendships, and a lifelong love of music.
