The Collective Sound Summer Music Academy - The World's First Touring Summer Music Camp
The Collective Sound Summer Academy is a rock/pop/electronic music camp that presents
youth with an authentic musical experience in performance, recording, music videos, touring
and the music industry. TCS provides attendees with a professional setting where they
perform in a live concert and are involved in the creative process of writing/recording an
original tune. We have a strong focus on the fundamentals of music and instrument
proficiency. We also provide exposure to the climate of the music industry and the obstacles
facing aspiring musicians. Bands or ensembles will be gaining valuable experience by working
with their group to develop their craft and interpersonal skills.
Group lessons, music theory, music composition, midi/Pro Tools lab, and special guests are all
part of our program. Students leaving TCS have a diversified perspective, increased
confidence, and a guided creative experience.
