Join The Band Summer Music Camps

Join The Band Summer Music Camps include Rock Band Music Camp where campers play in a band under the guidance of professional musicians. During the week, campers work on songs that they and their bandmates choose with JTB Band Leaders, receive instruction and playing tips for their instrument, and work on arranging skills, rehearsal techniques, improvisation (soloing) skills, and the proper use of live sound equipment such as amplifiers and microphones. Each camp week includes a Friday performance, and campers play in a band with kids of a similar age and level.

• Ages: 8–18 years old
• Schedule: Rock Music Camps run throughout the summer, meeting Monday–Friday from 9am–2pm, with Advanced Rock Band Camps meeting Monday–Friday from 9am–3pm

Campers are asked to bring a lunch, and the studio provides a microwave and water. Join The Band Summer Music Camps are part of a broader program that offers music lessons, band classes, band programs, and Join A Band workshops, along with summer music camps featuring Songwriting, Recording, and Production. The studio also offers private and online music lessons, including guitar, piano, voice, drum, bass, and ukulele lessons, and organizes Join the Band concerts where students can play on stage to packed houses throughout Los Angeles.

Rock Band Music Camp bands are led by professional musicians, and campers work with qualified JTB Band Leaders and experienced music teachers. Join The Band states the motto “Play Music – Make Friends – Have A Blast!” and promotes four ways to shape the summer music camp experience: limiting each camp class size, scheduling age-appropriate music camps, using experienced music teachers, and having a fun studio environment.
