School of Rock: Playing in a band encourages practice.

The School of Rock San Diego offers weeklong day camps throughout the summer to help children bring out their inner Dewey Finn (Jack Black’s character in the eponymous movie). Campers receive instruction in vocals, bass, drums, keys, and guitar, and end the week with a live performance. “We know from experience that playing in a band encourages practice and speeds learning which creates enthusiastic musicians,” states the online site.

The weeklong camps run from 9:30 am until 2:30 pm, starting the week of June 25 through the July 30 week. Each week has a different focus, from Classic Rock, to Songwriting/Recording, AC/DC to the 80’s — something for all little rock lovers. The camp is open to beginners and experienced musicians though it’s recommended that beginners have at least one to two months of music lessons before they attend the camp.

“God of Rock, thank you for this chance to kick ass.” — Dewey Finn
