Q: What is my skill level?


A: What is a musical beginner?
A musical beginner is someone with little or no experience playing/performing music. Someone who struggles to make it all the way through a simple song with only a few chords - for example: "Proud Mary" or "Horse With No Name." If you have any trepidation about easily making it through a song like this, with your instrument in tune, or your voice on key, then you are a beginner.

What is a musical intermediate?
A musical intermediate is someone with some experience playing/performing music, who tunes up and warms up immediately upon entering the rehearsal studio. Someone who has played for at least a few years and can get through a small set of music with few mistakes - for singers this means not cracking, singing off key and being relatively comfortable with knowing the lyrics, etc. A musical intermediate should be able to get through the songs without holding the other musician back.

What is a musical advanced ?
A musically advanced person is someone who has a lot of experience playing and performing music. Someone who "owns" the song they are playing and/or singing. Someone who knows their instrument well enough to where the song itself is second nature and their musical/artistic personality can shine threw. They can easily make it through basically any pop/rock song hearing it once or twice before attempting to play it and can switch parts with little or no effort if asked to.

Q: How old do you have to be to attend camp?

A: The Camp is for adults 18 +. We offer a Young Rockers Program for kids 12-17. Campers under the age of 18 must be chaperoned by an adult and purchase a spouse/family package.

Q: Do you have to have previous musical experience to attend camp?
