A Grand Rapids-based music school will be hosting a 2022 summer music camp.
School of Rock Grand Rapids is hosting three weeklong camps in June and August for children and young adults of any skill level.
The camp at 2505 Burton St. SE will offer classes on vocals and how to play guitar, bass, drums and keyboard. Students also will learn music theory and techniques via songs from artists such as Queen, the Foo Fighters, Aretha Franklin, Paramore, the Beatles and Taylor Swift.
“We’re excited to bring this unique music education experience to our community via weekly music lessons and summer music camps,” said Gwen Vryhof Bultema, owner of School of Rock Grand Rapids. “These announcements indicate just how close we are to opening and to gathering students of all backgrounds together to make music.”
