SYNERGY NETWORK CONFERENCE
PERCUSSION & MUSIC INDUSTRY CAMP
Expound your knowledge | Network with industry professionals | Showcase your talents
About The Event
What began as a series of private lessons, the annual Synergy Camp has now evolved into a is a two-week conference, where students collaborate with industry professionals to develop, sharpen, and cultivate a variety of skills preparing them to pursue careers in the music industry.
Overview
Since 2015, we have developed a system that connects industry professionals and students, which has led to our students being featured on platforms and receiving opportunities that otherwise, they’d have no access to.
CULTIVATING SKILLS: To strengthen techniques pertaining to percussion and drum set styles; to broaden perspectives on other industry related careers such as music production and engineering, while understanding the significance of applying synergism.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Students will be placed in an environment where the importance of building character is emphasized. Students will learn skills such as financial literacy, importance of building resumes and bios and receive exclusive insight on opportunities and how to secure a job in the industry.
MENTAL HEALTH: Research proves there are many psychological benefits of music. Extra curricular music activities, when executed in a healthy environment, cater to mental health by reducing the stress, anxiety and depression for young students.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH: Provide students with activities that place them in a positive, structured and secure learning environment. Students who view their academic environment as positive, meaningful and productive are less likely to be involved in serious delinquency and risky behavior.
