Review goals of yesterday and finalize set lists before lunch.
Sectionals and teaching essentials as a group are prime.
By now, you should have a good understanding of each camper's music preferences, personal goals, and skill levels. Before taking breaks or snacks, make sure the set list and song assignments are complete for all camps.
Performance Camp: 6-8 songs
Rock 101 Camp: 4-5 songs
Private lessons play a crucial role today to stay ahead. Utilize the SOR Method App to assist campers, and Directors will use the Method Engine & SOR App for setlist ideas. Consider conducting instrument-specific lessons (sectionals) to foster teamwork, shared knowledge, and camper collaboration.
For beginners, focus on teaching basic techniques, fingerings/voicings, grooves, main riffs, and memorization techniques for lyrics. Theory and reading are not the priority today for beginners, so focus on getting them to play the songs themselves. The overall goal is to make progress in mastering the material.
Keep up the good work and continue supporting the campers' musical journey! Praise their accomplishments throughout the day.
