As you may know, Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp produced over 160 online, live and interactive masterclasses during COVID. We got such a great response, that we are bringing them back for your learning and enjoyment! These classes are not only useful to musicians, but also can specifically help you to feel prepared for upcoming Rock Camps. This is also a great way to meet fellow musicians and campers. All classes will take place over Zoom and last an hour.

Coming Soon!
Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp is proud to present our live, online and interactive Masterclass Series. For the past 25 years, Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp has delivered campers the ultimate musical experience, learning directly from the masters themselves. In our unique Masterclasses rock stars will cover personalized career advice, never before told stories, tips and techniques on their specialties and more. During the Q&A portion, we will get to as many questions as time allows for and those people will have the opportunity to personally ask a question directly to the artist. Classes take place over Zoom, from the comfort of your home. Every class is unique and unscripted- an authentic experience is our specialty. During these classes you really get to know the artists in a new intimate way by spending at least 60 minutes with them, something that would never happen at your typical backstage setting! Focus subjects include songwriting, home recording, playing your instrument, vocals & more - there's sure to be a Masterclass for you!

“I just wanted to say thank you to the whole team there for the call today with Dave, on behalf of my daughter. We came to Canada 4 years ago, she and her mum from Russia, and myself from the UK. The first few years were tough for her with the language, making friends, missing grandparents etc. She then more recently discovered music, Megadeth in particular, started guitar lessons and has really found her identity through music. She had been anxious since we got the ticket about being on cam and asking a question - so much so she nearly didn’t attend. Dave’s demeanour and kindness in taking and answering her question today made her year! As her dad it made me emotional as well to see how far she has come in her journey of self confidence. So thanks to Dave and yourself. She is excited about hopefully seeing Megadeth in concert in July in Toronto (covid willing).”
“The Holly Knight Masterclass taught me so much about the many aspects of songwriting, and I really enjoyed getting feedback on my own song!”
“This experience is as close as you can get with the artist. It is a very personal experience and better and more affordable than any ‘Meet & Greets!’”
“You were drawn to this experience for a reason. Follow that reason. ”
“Great experience! This was a chance to get to know the artist on a personal and professional level that seems unlikely in the real world. RRFC connects us with the people we have admired and been influenced by and shows us who they really are; wonderfully talented people who made the impossible possible and share their stories and experiences with us. ”
“Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee Holly Knight’s 2-day Masterclass on songwriting was a real treat! After providing the class with an interesting and amusing summation of her rise through the music industry Holly spent the majority of the time reviewing songs submitted by the class members and provided very useful, honest and detailed critiques. All of this was interspersed with tips on what the industry is looking for and the how’s and where’s to successfully promote yourself and your music. Additionally each day’s class ran almost double the time so there was no rush and everyone’s questions and songs got covered.”
“Attending the virtual ‘Master Class’ with Aerosmith’s Tom Hamilton was a great experience! He is a gentleman, veteran of the music industry, and offered advice and stories. I’m very happy I was able to attend...it’s a fantastic inexpensive investment for musicians and music fans alike!”
“RRFC Masterclasses give you something to look forward and leave you with a big smile in your face ... both of which are much needed in these difficult times”
“RRFC is doing a great thing in making the greats from all aspects of the music business accessible to aspiring artists, engineers and producers. The discussions are relaxed but still candid and provides content that is valuable to everyone from beginners to experts. Don’t miss out on the fun! ”
“In a time of staying separated, these masterclass are a fresh breath of air that brings light to the soul.”
