Free Summer Music Camp

Check out the Program

Hume Conservatorium is offering a FREE composition and song writing camp for young people aged 16-24 At the Mountain Trails Camp in Wee Jasper from the 22-25 January 2024.

The Regional Music Workshops will offer emerging musicians aged 16-24 a 4-day residential camp during the January holidays in Wee Jasper in the Yass Valley. The focus of the workshops will be on the creation of new original work and networking with other young emerging musicians from regional NSW.

The program will offer young people opportunities to develop new original music. It will include workshops in song writing, composition, production, performance and stagecraft workshops with facilitators skilled in all areas of performance, production and composition including vocal, strings, guitar and composition. The workshops will culminate in a performance of new original works for family and friends.

Young people will have the opportunity to form new groups, develop songs, share experiences and create, record and perform original works. The residential format will allow participants to continue to collaborate outside of workshop sessions, in a supportive environment that fosters concentrated development of new creative material.

The 4-day camp is FREE and will be held at Mountain Trails Adventure Camp in Wee Jasper, near Yass.
