Attention, high school students. Are you a young musician at a crossroads and looking to take your game to the next level? Are you mulling a career in the music industry? If you answered yes to these questions, the GRAMMY Museum's GRAMMY Camp might be exactly what you're looking for.
Hosted by the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music, this year's installment will take place in Los Angeles from July 17–21.
What is GRAMMY Camp? Simply put, it's a fun, interactive five-day summer music experience designed specifically for high school students and with a focus on all aspects of commercial music.
At GRAMMY Camp, students will receive instruction by GRAMMY-winning and -nominated professionals in an immersive, creative environment with cutting-edge technology in professional facilities.
What can you learn at GRAMMY Camp? The curriculum engages students in the technical aspects of creating, performing and recording, with an emphasis toward new and emerging music technologies. The program offers campers the opportunity to work in integrated industry teams in eight tracks: Audio Engineering; Electronic Music Production; Instrumental Performance; Music Business; Music Journalism; Songwriting; Video Production & Motion Graphics; and Vocal Performance.
All tracks culminate in media projects, album recordings, an open house, and/or performances.
And some campers have made their way to Music's Biggest Night. The program's alumni include GRAMMY winner Maren Morris and 60th GRAMMY Awards nominees Alex Han, Jazzmeia Horn and Pascal Le Boeuf.
GRAMMY Camp tuition is $1,500, with financial assistance available to qualified students. The camp is nonresidential and students must provide their own accommodations and transportation.
