Description

Dear Friends and Neighbors, I am thrilled to announce that FINDING YOUR VOICE MUSIC SUMMER CAMP 2022 is HERE! My talented and dear friends Danny Uzilevsky and Rachel Hoiem and I are offering 3 week long sessions of voice, guitar, songwriting and recording instruction! Ages 8-18. All levels are welcome. This music camp will create a platform for creativity, self expression, and social connection. Whether you are a complete beginner who’s always wanted to sing, write songs, or play guitar/ukulele, or have previous experience and want to take your skills to the next level, this music camp is a wonderful opportunity to build confidence, improve technique, and discover your own voice as a singer, guitarist, and songwriter! This camp will take place in person at Allegiant Records in San Anselmo. Allegiant Records is a full service, world class recording studio. Virtual participation on Zoom is also welcome! DATES: Camp sessions are Monday - Friday 10am-4pm Session 1: June 27 - July 1 Session 2: July 18 - 22 Session 3: August 8- 12 COST: $575 Per week *(Sliding scale available based on need available upon request/discussion) Lunch break is from 12-12:45 each day. LUNCH: Please pack a lunch! Alternately, we are located next to Red Hill Shopping Center which is filled with many restaurants if the kids want to eat out they can be chaperoned to pick up lunch. We are also a short walk from a playground and nature area. Some of our classes may be conducted outdoors, for a change of pace and scenery, weather providing. VOICE: Participants will have the opportunity to learn healthy vocal techniques to expand range, develop ear training, improve tone, dynamics, pitch, vibrato, and anchor breathing. The goal is to build confidence, authenticity and cultivate your own unique sound. We will draw from the schools of both 'Speech Level Singing' & classical theory while we explore a variety of musical styles including rock, pop,standards, jazz, R&B, country, folk, rap, spoken word, and even classical arias. Voice and presence have a huge impact on how we feel and how others receive us. So, when students "find their voice," they can achieve more in all avenues of life. GUITAR & UKULELE: In this week-long camp, you will learn the anatomy of the guitar/ukulele, how to tune your instrument, how to play basic chords, as well as picking and strumming techniques. We will also focus on learning contemporary & classic songs to make the experience fun and inspiring! There will be time for jams and improvisation. What you will need: A guitar (or ukulele) A tuner A guitar pick A desire to learn SONGWRITING: For songwriting we look at telling stories in the most authentic voice possible. We work on cultivating lyrical imagery, developing melodies, composing musical hooks, and learning a variety of song structures. Students will have the opportunity to do both solo writing and group collaborations. We will do free writing, learn to silence the inner critic, and spend time appreciating the great songs and songwriters who have come before us. Each student will emerge with a brand new original composition by the end of the week! RECORDING: Campers will have the opportunity to professionally record an original or cover song of their choice by the end of the week! The recording will be co-produced by acclaimed multi- instrumentalist and engineer Danny Uzilevsky and singer/songwriter/producer/ Essence Goldman. We are so excited to make music with you!
