Summer Music Songwriting Boot Camp for Teens & High School Students

SOCAPA’s one-week Music Boot Camp challenges Singer-Songwriters to write and arrange multiple songs in a single week. Students may choose one song to refine and perform for the live showcase.


In conjunction with classes in music history, theory, business, and recording, students receive private and group instruction in a variety of topics such as: song conception, arrangement, lyric composition, stage presence, and more.

Singer / Songwriters

The Singer-Songwriter intensive provides development in the discipline of popular music. Instruction consists of group workshops and individual coaching in melody, harmony, arranging, lyric writing, and stage presence. Each student will have the opportunity to write and arrange an original song to be performed live.

Experience

There are some necessary tools students must possess in order to be successful at SOCAPA.


An intermediate knowledge of music theory as it relates to major and minor scales, key signatures, and time signatures is important in our fast-paced learning environment. While we mainly focus on written chord symbols, a basic knowledge of reading music notes is also helpful. Above all, a deep passion for music and an understanding of basic musicianship is imperative in the life of any aspiring musician.
