Registration open for Music Tech Camp at Sheridan College

Sheridan College has announced, in partnership with the Witzel Family Foundation, they will host the second annual music technology summer camp from July 25, through July 29, 2022, designed for 13 to 18-year-old students with an interest in music production, recording audio and using technology to create music. 

According to the college, students will engage with hands-on learning using modern recording equipment and computer technology, introducing them to the world of audio engineering and digital music composition. Sheridan College staff will work closely with camp participants as they learn concepts and skills in various areas of music technology, including songwriting within a digital audio workstation, how to record instruments and full bands, acoustics, as well as music theory and keyboard skills.

“We are thrilled to partner with the Witzel Foundation to be able to offer this unique opportunity to our local junior and high school students,” Dean of Online Learning and Arts Outreach Dr. Rachel Bergman said. “If a student is interested in music production, this is a fun, engaging way to explore and learn more from experienced college music technology staff.”

Students will also have the opportunity to participate in masterclass demonstrations with audio professionals and musicians either in person or via Zoom. This year’s camp features a workshop with members of the Craft Brothers. In addition, the Eric Richards Ensemble will be in residency on campus during the week, and students will get the opportunity to record with professional jazz musicians as well as assist with the production of a concert. At the end of the camp, students will have created their own piece of recorded music to share with their friends, family and the world, according to Sheridan College.

 The camp runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day and costs $300 if students register by July 1.
