Penticton Academy of Music & Dramatic Arts,
220 Manor Park Ave
Registration is now open for our 3rd Annual Youth Songwriting Spring Camp! This course focuses on songwriting and performance, and is aimed at facilitating self-expression through music, song, and spoken word poetry. Combining elements of musical theory, improvisation techniques, lyric writing, collaboration with peers, and working one-on-one with the instructors, students get an incredibly dynamic and transformational experience.
Joining musician leaders Corwin Fox and Tereza Tomek this year is Kia Kadiri, a high energy hip hop artist and teacher. Kia will explain the history of hip hop and talk about it in the context of music theory and songwriting. If you want to rap, Kia can help. She’ll also bring a lot of instrumental beats for anyone who wants to write to those or to choreograph movements.
This program is suitable for complete beginners, as well as students with prior musical experience.
Corwin will bring his mobile recording studio to give students an opportunity to record and download their new tunes. Students will then perform their new songs at the first concert of the Ignite the Arts Festival weekend at the Dream Cafe on Saturday, March 30, 2024.
Corwin, Kia, and Tereza have developed and taught this incredible program for more than a dozen years and it has been life-changing for many of the young people who have had the chance to take part in it.
Ages: 10 to 17
