Music at Long Bay Camp
Long Bay’s music camp inspires campers to learn new instruments and play music like they have never played before! Campers who have experienced a music workshop often continue a musical program throughout the school year. For many campers, our music camp program is a life changing experience.
Drumming - World Beat!
Instructor: Ben Holland
Dates Available: July 4 - July 10, 2010 (Session 1)
A look into the traditional rhythms of West Africa, this wonderful workshop focuses on a traditional hand-drumming piece from Ghana called Kpanlogo. Campers will learn about the culture behind the music as well as the meanings of the traditional songs. They will get to try their hand at a number of African percussion instruments. Campers will emerge from this week-long journey with increased cultural knowledge of music and awareness. For campers of all levels!
Long Bay's High-Camp Musical!
Instructor: Lenny Graf
Dates Available: July 11 - July 17, 2010 (Session 2)
Have you ever dreamed of being a performer or a song writer? Whether you have a lot, a little or no experience you can join in and tap into the performer that is inside all of us! Be part of our production! You will be amazed how great some of your favourite pop songs you’ve always dreamed of trying can sound. Learn how easy and fun it is to play, sing, harmonize and learn cool dance moves just like the professionals. See how easy it is to make up your own songs and how to set your new creation to music and melody. Everyone will get a chance to shine with their moment in the final production. It will be fun to rehearse and perform to music tracks from High School Musical, as well as Broadway musicals and other fun styles!
Rock Band - Rocking the Barn!
Instructor: Liam Smith
Dates Available: July 18 - July 31, 2010 (Session 3 - Two Weeks)
In this workshop campers will learn the basic skills of standard rock and roll instrumentation (guitar/bass/drums/vocals) and how to put it all together to create real rock and roll! Some experience is recommended but not necessary. Sessions will include individual instrument instruction, rock history, songwriting and arranging, and most importantly group ensemble sessions where the band will routinely rattle the rafters of the big beautifully revamped barn at Long Bay Camp.
