Join Us For The Jam – July 6-17
The JAM is the ultimate performance camp for aspiring young musicians. Vocalists and instrumentalists are welcome to spend one week (or two) during July 2009 at the BGA campus in Franklin, TN, learning the craft of musicianship within a band rehearsal setting.
Open to all students ages 11 thru 19, The JAM offers supervised rehearsal sessions with professional instruction, musician clinics, and a live student showcase at week's end. Stage presence, performance techniques, dynamics, discipline and diplomacy are some of the many aspects that will be addressed during an intense, fun-filled week of rock music.
Students can expect to hear scheduled performances throughout the week, and will receive special instruction from some of the most successful songwriters and musicians in the music industry. Participants can expect to collaborate, compose, and study as a semi-professional band, while learning the craft of songwriting from some of Music Row's finest hit makers.
Week One: JULY 6-10
Week Two: JULY 13-17
Monday - Friday 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
