Calling all young adventurers in grades K-5! Get ready to embark on an epic musical journey at Video Game Music Camp. Discover the captivating melodies and rhythms that have enchanted gamers for over 30 years on a variety of platforms, from Atari and Nintendo to PlayStation and iPad. Unleash your creativity as you explore composers, identify common themes, and learn about the revolutionary games that pushed video game music and sound to new limits.

Our Video Game Music Camp is a fun-filled week of music-making inspired by popular video game themes, melodies and sound effects. Students will sing, drum, and play games that promote musical skills and concepts. While we won't spend the week playing video games, the musical themes and sound scapes from video games will be our focus repertoire for group projects and private lessons alike. Learn themes from the Legends of Zelda, use acoustic and digital sound banks to create sound effects for character action, write Simlish poetry, create original bumper music with peers and faculty. 

Join us for an immersive experience where you'll dive deep into the world of video game music. Interactive challenges and age-appropriate content and daily schedule ensure a perfect blend of learning and fun. Become a musical hero in the world of video games!  Camp includes private lesson on the instrument of choice.  Beginners and more experienced students welcome.

Since Little Richard, Chuck Berry and others burst on the scene in the 1950s, rock has been the language of American youth. Its energy and raw emotion provide a perfect vehicle for personal expression and providing a sense of belonging.

With a goal of fostering this sense of community and a place for students to connect and be themselves, CMC Atlanta Rock Campers jam every day with faculty and peers. And as far as rocking goes, doing it is the best way to learn. We play a variety of rock styles, from classic to progressive to pop and even hard rock. Our rock curriculum for each camper also includes private lessons (in voice or on the instrument of choice), basic music theory, songwriting, a survey of rock history, and performance projects. Rock Camp culminates with an informal in-house showcase at each camp location. If interested, campers are also eligible to join either or both of our two CMC Atlanta Summer Showcases: one will be held at Seven Stages on Saturday, June 30 and the other on Friday, July 20 at Atlanta Music High School (in the North Druid Hills/Brookhaven area). Logistics of the optional Summer Showcase participation are worked out with each camper’s family upon registration.

Since we group by age and skill level, beginners and more experienced musicians alike are welcome in our camp.
