The Music Industry program provides high school students a window into the current state of the music industry. For two weeks in the summer, students will explore many aspects of the industry including:
- Performance
- Singer/songwriter
- Music business
- Recording arts
Students will have the opportunity to take two elective courses and participate in two ensembles. Our program offers students a range of contemporary music classes ranging from mobile devices to singer/songwriter. The final electives and ensembles offered at the camp will depend on student interest.
The program is designed to preview the CU Denver Music & Entertainment Industry Studies (MEIS) Department college programs. Students who attend the camp during the summer prior to their senior year of high school will have the opportunity to audition for our college program at the camp, saving time and money when applying to CU Denver's MEIS college programs during their senior year.
