Every summer for the last 10 years, Mason Music has inspired hundreds of students all over Birmingham to have fun while learning about music. Mason Music's summer camps are designed to give incredible music experiences tailored to each child’s age and stage of musicianship to make sure they have something exciting and educational to do during break.
Mason Music has camps for every age, from preschool children (ages 3-5) to advanced musicians (up to age 18). “Our camps are designed to help your child grow as a musician,” said Nicole Patton, director of marketing. Mason Music's Camp for Beginners is a great starting point for younger students who are interested in learning more about the guitar, piano, voice, drums and violin. “They get a full week of in-depth introduction of all five of our main instruments,” Patton explained. At the end of the week, the camp’s instructors offer parents feedback on what instrument their child may enjoy pursuing in private lessons.
“Playing with other young musicians is the best way to grow and have fun,” Patton continued, “so we offer two rock band camps for students ages 10-18 where they are placed in a band with other musicians like them.” In Rock Band Camp: Performance Edition, campers learn songs together and perform publicly for friends and family at the end of camp. In Rock Band Camp: Recording Edition, campers are able to rehearse, write and record together to create an actual demo of their music.
“Music is a huge part of our lives and connects us all, so it’s our goal at Mason Music to find that connection,” Patton said. “We want to inspire a community of people to be passionate about playing music."
