Moville to host "unique" music Summer Camp

A "unique" four-day "summer camp" aimed at introducing young would be singers, musicians and songwriters to "group music" will take place in Inishowen at the end of June.

The event which is being organised by the Inishowen School of Rock begins in St. Eugene's Hall, Moville on June 28th and will conclude with a concert for parents and friends.

Benny Doherty, spokesperson for the organisers said "the camp would give an introductory guide on a number of instruments in the hope students would naturally find their instalment of choice."

He added: "This unique four-day summer camp is designed as an introduction to group music. Each student will receive beginner tutorials in bass, keyboards and percussion. Other aspects of music making will be looked at such as team work and listening skills. Through fun interactive games we hope to give a positive introduction to music for kids of all ages and abilities."

Students who already play an instrument should take it along but applicants do not need any experience. Each student will receive drum, guitar, bass, piano and vocal lessons and are asked to bring a folder to enable them to build up a lesson plan.
