For CYBER MONDAY ONLY, this Monday, December 1st, is offering 25% off their Recording & Production Summer Camps at
These camps are designed for young people to spend a week inside a working recording studio, learning how music is captured, shaped, and produced. No prior recording experience is needed — just curiosity about the studio world.
Requirements:
These camps are for students ages 12–18 who already have playing experience and are comfortable with their instrument. They are intended for developing young musicians who want to deepen their understanding of studio recording and production. Students should have the ability to follow musical direction and actively participate in the recording process.
Two sessions are available for 2026:
Week 1: July 27–31
Week 2: August 17–21
For anyone interested in sound, storytelling, or the world behind the music they love, this is a meaningful entry point — and Cyber Monday offers the best rate of the year.
