Who is it for?
This camp is for music lovers! Perhaps you listen to your i-Pod ALL DAY LONG. . . Perhaps you love video games like Guitar Hero or Rock Band and want to try the real thing. . . perhaps you are a band or orchestra student who wants to try out a different style of music and/or instruments just for fun over the summer. . .or maybe you already play the piano, guitar, or drums and would like to be able to play your favorite songs with others. RMC's Summer Music Camp is meant to provide a fun and relaxed instructional atmosphere that will further a love of music. If you are already an advanced musician, this may not be the right place for you.

What will we learn?
On the first day of camp, attendees will help choose the songs they want to learn from a list provided by the instructors. The list will include a variety of popular songs from the hit video game Rock Band, popular movie tunes, contemporary praise and worship music, and familiar classic rock hits. During the week, campers will learn a basic rock beat on the drums, along with a few fills. On the Guitar and keyboards everyone will learn several chords and a few cool licks. By the end of the week, students will know a few tunes that they can "jam" on. Intermediate students can expect a similar format with more advanced chords/voicings, fills, and licks. Students who excel at a particular instrument will be given a more challenging part to play on their instrument and/or be encouraged to spend more time on a less familiar instrument.



Do I need to own an instrument?
All instruments and equipment are provided by RMC. Students can enjoy learning the instruments without having one at home, and do not need to bring their instrument to camp.

How much does it cost?
Tuition is $299 per Session. Discounts are available if booking multiple Sessions in advance. Call for more information: 619-225-9597.

What are the hours? Monday-Friday 10am to 4pm (pickup/drop-off 9-10am, 4-5pm). Campers may be dropped off as early as 9 am and may stay as late as 5 pm any/every day of the week to practice on the instruments or play Rock Band. Pick-up and drop-off times are offered as a convenience only; this is supervised, but unstructured "free-time" for campers. Regular instructors will be planning and preparing for their classes during this time and may not be available for instruction.

What about lunch and snacks?
RMC will provide healthy snacks and bottled water throughout the day. Campers will need to pack a non-perishable lunch each day.
