Like no other program in the area, Summer Sessions focuses on putting together a unique band with the goal of creating original music recorded in the Music Studio right at the Y. Participants can build and improve upon the creative skills of songwriting, filming, audio engineering, video editing, production, and instrumental or vocal performance while creating a complete professional project – an EP and/or a music video.

Summer Sessions will offer enrolled students the opportunity to form new advanced skills that help mold young musicians into experienced, successful artists. These collaborative projects foster abilities and work ethic that are not exclusive to the music industry, but can be applied to so many other careers and educational experiences. Summer Sessions focuses on the process, not just the content.

*This program is designed for students with experience playing in a group setting, writing original music, and/or recording. A pre-registration meeting with YMCA Creative Arts Staff is required for NEW students or students WITHOUT any of the above experience.*
