UNT Contemporary Music Making Camp

June 2 - 13, 2025 (see below for dates of separate sessions)
About the Camp

This camp consists of two parts:

  1. Songwriting & Arrangement
  2. Studio Production  

Songwriting & Arrangement: Designed to take students through all stages of the songwriting arrangement process. Focus will be on song inspiration, lyric creation, and structure/arrangement considerations. We will also explore some of the technical components that go into recording a song demo. Students will work in both a classroom setting and individually or in small groups. Students will leave with a recorded song demo. 

Studio Production: Designed to take students through all stages of the recording, mix, and master process in contemporary music. Focus will be on the technical and aesthetic considerations which go into a musically expressive song production. Students will work in both a classroom setting and individually or in small groups. Students will leave with a commercially-viable recorded song. 

This camp is organized with the two parts to act as the logical order of the music making process. While campers may choose to register for only one of the two parts, they are encouraged to register for both to get a more complete and in-depth experience. To register for both, we reccomend using the "Combined" registration option which includes a tuition discount. 

Both parts will conclude with a showcase of the work you’ve created each Friday, 4:15-6:00pm. Friends and family invited! 

This camp is open to songwriters and music producers with all ranges of experience, ages 14 and up.
