R&B Boot Camp (ages 9 and older)
Students will learn about the history of Rhythm and Blues music while strengthening their improv and performance skills and finding their overall "soul". This is a harmony-focused camp for vocalists, not instrumentalists.
Note: We have modified the curriculum for our R&B Bootcamp to allow first-timers and returning students to attend the same camp.
Tuition: $359
Songwriting/Recording Camp (ages 9 and older)
Does your child enjoy writing poems or singing their own unique lyrics to popular songs? Or, do they like to create their own melodies on their instruments at home? Then, this will definitely be their jam! Campers will learn about lyric writing, melody, harmony, creative imagery, and more in this fun week-long camp.
Our final camp day will be spent at a real studio recording their original songs! It's one of those memory-making camps that they will enjoy doing every summer!
Students do not need to be able to play an instrument to participate in this camp. However, it is a great opportunity for some of our existing Jam Session musicians to write some original music, which may be performed by their band at an upcoming show!
Tuition: $359 (includes digital copy of original song)
We're gonna ROCK your summer break!!
We have always eagerly awaited summers and our music camps as a time for young musicians to come together and create, play and socialize with others.
Our R&B Bootcamps, Songwriting/Recording, and Kidz Jam Band Camps have always been fun and popular ways to encourage and develop creative self expression at Ballantyne School of Music!
All of our summer camps are half-day schedules, beginning at 9am and ending at 1pm. Our Songwriting/Recording, Kidz Jam, and R&B Boot Camp are week-long camps and take place Monday-Friday.
~ A $50 deposit is required at the time of enrollment. This deposit is non-refundable unless the camp is cancelled by Ballantyne School of Music. The balance of summer camp tuition will be charged to the card on file two weeks prior to the first day of camp and is non-refundable, once camp has started.

If your young student has always wanted to know what it feels like to be in a REAL band playing with other musicians yet they aren't quite ready to make the transition into our Jam Session performance program, then this week-long camp is the perfect introduction!
Our camp directors have been participating in our Jam Session program for over three years and are excited to work with our next generation of rockstars! Campers will spend the week working on rhythm, solos, lyrics, harmony, band dynamics, performing skills and more! On the final day of camp, bands will perform live in front of family and friends in their own private concert!
Musicians who enroll in this camp should currently be in private music lessons and have a basic understanding of their instrument. Guitar/bass players will need to bring their instrument to camp each day. Keyboard, drums and microphones (for singers) will be provided.
Get ready to rock!!
