    Do you have a Teen who's been starting to write songs? Or would like to? Or maybe they've seen performers on TV or Tiktok and become interested in singing in public or performing online, but don't know where to start? Maybe you have someone in your life who'd love to be more comfortable expressing themselves through music and feeling relaxed, capable, and happy onstage in front of an audience...

    If so, IDOL CAMP may be the perfect thing to light up their summer!

    This 5-day camp starts by setting up young musicians with the foundations of SONGWRITING (song structure, melody, and meaningful lyrics). Then we'll move into getting experience and insight into many areas of PERFORMANCE -- such as finding one's 'natural voice', accompanying yourself (or not), mic technique, EQ effects, developing great pitch, incorporating rhythm, easy at-home demo recording techniques, and even how to start booking gigs. Camp is facilitated by Mary Beth Maziarz and other special guests with rich experience in the music industry. If your tw/een has always thought they could write and perform if only given the chance -- this is their chance.

    All skill and knowledge levels welcome.
    Mon-Fri, June 16-20, 2025. 11am - 3pm.
    Intended for 12 and up (or by prior approval -- just email mb)

      2024 was another great year of learning about songwriting, performing, and collaborating with other talented young musicians. Along with the curriculum of past years, this year we did some basic recording of our original group-written songs, "I Hate that I Miss You" and "The Cheetos Song." (The Cheetos Song started out as a silly challenge to show how songs can truly be about anything -- but it turned out to be a lot of fun! And kinda catchy tbh.) Thank you to the featured song camp singers that made it possible to share a bit of our work with our wonderful supporters. Thank you so much!

      FULL SCHOLARSHIPS are available!   Please email us here ASAP   with the student's name, age, and  specific musical area of interest and experience (if applicable), along with parent email and telephone number.    Thank you!

      YOU can be a rockstar too!

      After our song camps in  past years,  word eventually got back to us (after the fact) about several 
       enthusiastic committed young musicians who really wished to participate in the camps, 
      but were unfortunately unable to cover tuition fees.  This was frustrating (and heartbreaking)  --  
      and completely at odds with our goals and intentions.

      BUT!! ---
      through the generous charitable sponsorship from Mountain Town Music's
      Michael  James  Richards Scholarship Program
      and supportive individual and family donors, we're making this year's camps more accessible for all in two new ways: 

      1)  by discounting the tuition fees for ALL participants
      and 
      2) by establishing partial & fully-funded scholarships 
      to bridge the cost gap for those in need of extra  financial support.

       IF YOU  - -  or someone you know - - loves supporting original music and  helping promising young musicians,
      it's not too late!  Contribution of ANY amount toward the scholarship fund - - or extra generous sponsorship
      of a full scholarship or $300 --would be incredibly appreciated and might make a life-changing difference in a
      young artist's trajectory.   We will  offer as many scholarship spots as donations allow, adding sessions as nec.
      THANK YOU!
