Are you ready to rock?
YEAH! Rocks Music Camp is a high-energy day camp designed for young people, whether they are an experienced player or brand new to playing music. Throughout the week, campers learn to play instruments, form bands, write original songs, and collaborate with peers, all while building confidence and creativity. The week wraps up with an unforgettable end-of-camp showcase, where campers will perform live at Eastside Bowl for family and friends.
Early Bird pricing available through Feb 15th.
What Makes YEAH! Rocks MUSIC CAMP Special?
Throughout the week, campers are mentored by professional musician teaching artists who are passionate about helping young people grow. Our instructors support each camper at their level, encouraging creativity, collaboration, and self-expression in a welcoming, inclusive environment.
Learn From Pro Musicians
Throughout the week, campers will participate in hands-on workshops focused on beat-making, stage presence, stage tech, songwriting, and music production. These workshops are designed to give youth practical skills while encouraging curiosity and exploration.
Older campers will choose one workshop area to focus on and dive deeper over the course of the week, building skills and confidence through extended practice and guided instruction. Younger campers will rotate through each workshop, getting a taste of multiple creative areas and discovering what excites them most.
Creative Music Workshops
After lunch each day, campers will experience live performances and Q&A sessions with local music artists. These interactive moments give youth the chance to hear real stories from working musicians, ask questions, and gain real-world insight into creative careers. By learning from artists with a variety of backgrounds and musical paths, campers are exposed to different perspectives and inspired to imagine what their own future in music could look like.
Meeting The Band
At the end of the week, campers will take the stage and perform for family and friends at respected Nashville music venue Eastside Bowl. This showcase celebrates everything they’ve learned, created, and practiced throughout the week, and gives campers the unforgettable experience of performing in a real-world music setting.
