Follow on Google News | New York Rock Academy Music Summer CampNew York Rock Academy is a specialty program designed to maximize the potential of every student.
By: New York Rock Academy Students will form groups alongside those of similar experience and immediately begin making music. Beginners will find themselves performing complete arrangements of their favorite songs by the end of a single session. Advanced players will have the opportunity to fine tune their skills - learning subtle and not-so-subtle lessons about instrumental or vocal technique and the organization of a rock ensemble. The motivating force at New York Rock Academy is excitement. Regardless of level, students will be encouraged to explore the music that they truly love. The experienced faculty will help to break down the imaginary barrier between the students and the 'stars', giving concrete advice on how to effectively play and interpret rock songs. Anything that stands in the way of a moving performance will be addressed and remedied to allow the students to communicate the love and excitement that they feel to an audience. The Major provides each student with a course of study in the instrument he or she loves. Students take two lessons each day and play their major instrument in the ensembles. The material covered in the Major is based on the instructor's assessment of the student. Class time is spent working on the songs the students are featuring in their ensembles and technique to improve overall playing ability. Workshops are a great way for campers to try something new. Topics include keyboards, voice, rhythm, music history, songwriting, production and promotion. Workshops run daily and change over the course of the week. The bands are what it's all about! Students are placed into real bands of 3-6 members according to age and ability. They are directed by a faculty band leader daily. Each band is a close-knit team, in which every member plays an important role. Students have unique opportunities to shine both as individuals and ensemble members. Students choose and may even write the songs they rehearse while the faculty band leader helps them develop the parts they will play. Each camper will participate in an exciting end of session performance that is recorded. Campers will impress their friends and family with the professional video recording of their band. # # # The New York Rock Academy consists of a tightly knit staff of well educated professional musicians, instructors, and administrators who share a common goal: the success of our students. In order to provide the best experience, the faculty carefully creates each student schedule, ensuring that the student is matched with the proper instructor and other students. No student is "thrown" into a class. Our instructors are patient and have many years of experience. They know how to maintain a healthy balance between teaching what the student wants to learn and what is best for his or her development. The staff is always available to listen and address the needs of our students. End
