Music Factory Camp

This summer Brooklyn Music Factory is once again back in action for a unique–and totally rocking!–camp experience. At Brooklyn Music Factory’s summer camp, kids ages 4-12 join bands and spend their days writing songs, playing music games, and more in our fully equipped studios. In addition, campers get to enjoy free time every day getting lots of fresh air and physical activity at our neighborhood park. On Fridays, kids will record their original song to share with friends and family!
Note: OR Gig contingent on Covid

About Brooklyn Music Factory Camp

Why MiniKeys?

MiniKeys is a fun & playful class that teaches beginning music theory. We explore piano, drums and guitar, and write original songs in our band.

MiniKeys is a positive, joyful first music class that lays a foundation for lifetime music making.

Who ?

Whats Included

Warm Up Game – We’ll start the class by introducing the music concept for the day with a fun warm up game. Our music concept is based in either rhythm, melody, or harmony!

Sing-Along – Everyone sings & learns fun movements along with basic music techniques. We connect the lyrics to movement so we can feel the music in our bodies!

Rock Pit – This is where the music concept of the day is reinforced through interactive music games focusing on learning a new part of our song. MiniKeys students learn or write a new song together every 3-4 weeks!

We focus on the piano for melody, drums for rhythm, guitar for harmony & the microphone for voice & lyrics. MiniKeys students learn or write a new song together every 3-4 weeks. The MiniKeys BAND then plays it together on each instrument, not only learning what they’re doing individually, but how their part fits into the larger band setting.
