Instead, they offer a wide range of fun and entertainment throughout the camp week.
Their birthday party options include Bubble Football, Soccer Party, NERF AstroWars, GAA Party and Inflatable Bouncy Castle Party.

Make Music Summer Music Camps
Make Music return with a bang this summer with a series of week-long music camps designed for students who can already play an instrument, but who don’t have the opportunity to play with others. After all, that’s where the real fun in music lies!
Over the course of the week, camp goers will be introduced to other musicians and split into groups to form a band. You’ll have constant support and instruction from experienced gigging musicians while you learn to play some cover songs together. You’ll have song writing classes to help you write some original material and you’ll perform your cover songs and compositions live at the end of the week!
We’ll intersperse all the playing and rehearsals with talks on aspects of music playing, like song writing (as mentioned), how to use pedals and effects and how to set up your equipment for optimal sound in a live set.
We’ll have some fun rhythm and harmony studies and hands-on demos of how to layer tracks and fuse genres. We’ll even have some Q & A sessions with professional musicians and a visit from a third level institution, to show you some options for doing a degree in contemporary music.
This promises to be the best camp of the summer. So get up off your couch, grab your guitar, pop your sticks in your jacket and start limbering up your voice. Call us on 086 178 9859 or 087 951 3653 and book your place now! www.makemusic.ie
