Summer Rock Camps for Youth and Adults at JAMS (Jasmine’s Alternative Music School)

Press releases are posted on Independent.com as a free community service.

Santa Barbara, CA: JAMS has opened enrollment for its summer rock camp for kids and teens, bringing kids ages 8 to 18 together from all parts of town and all backgrounds to play music and have fun. After exploring all the instruments involved in the program (guitar, bass, drums, keyboard), each participant will pick an instrument to focus on, learn the instrument, form bands, learn cover songs, write original songs, and play a show at the end of the program. After the past two years unprecedented isolation, such a program is needed now more than ever. JAMS provides a safe place for kids to start blossoming again socially. 

All levels of experience are welcome, including total beginners. If a participant doesn’t have an instrument, instruments can be borrowed from JAMS. The primary instructors are three members of a female rock band, Space Queen. All three have studied music, have been teaching music to kids and adults for years, and are inspiring and fun teachers. Young mentors and interns will co-coach the bands and help the kids learn.
