House of Rock Summer Camp: Second Band (June 15 - 20)

Second Band

Say you’ve played in a band and you are ready to take your playing to the next level; then the Swallow Hill House of Rock “Second Band” is for you! In this week-long camp, the players will explore the ensemble, navigating more complicated arrangements and widening their musical skills in a more advanced way. We will learn eight songs of different artists focusing on preparing for the end-of-camp performance utilizing aspects of a show that pro bands use. We also focus more time on listening, hearing other instruments in the band, and learning how to communicate as a band. Learning these techniques along with more complicated arrangements from bands like Soundgarden and Pink Floyd to Muse and Willow. Jump on in and let’s do this!

Must have prior experience playing in a band or have attended House of Rock Summer Camp: First Band.

House of Rock Summer Camp

Swallow Hill Music’s House of Rock Summer Camp is now in its 16th year! At House of Rock, students ages 11-18 will get hands-on experience necessary to play in a band with other musicians.

In each week-long session, campers will learn how to use their gear, play through a sound system, understand and read music charts, find and create a part in the band, write songs, play with other musicians, gain performance techniques, and develop skills for managing a performance group.

Camps are open to guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, vocals, horns, strings, and even banjo. If you have an instrument that is not listed, give our front desk a call and find out if we can make your instrument work in a band setting!

Attendees will get numerous opportunities each day to play and practice in duos, trios, and in a full band setting. All ensemble and band work is taught and directed by the camp faculty.

Each week of camp ends with a performance in Daniels Hall – complete with a full sound system, sound engineer, and lights.
