“The most important bridge between a dream and reality is simply an open door. For more than two decades, Grammy Camp has opened that door for high school students, offering access, mentorship and real-world experience that transforms potential into possibility,” said Michael Sticka, President and CEO of the Grammy Museum. “We’re thrilled to continue the expansion of our mission, welcoming the next generation of industry leaders to our Grammy Camps in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Nashville.”
This Grammy Museum Education program is made possible thanks in part to support from the Chuck Lorre Family Foundation. Additional scholarship and program support is provided by BeatHeadz, CenterStaging, Crucial Music Corporation, Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation, Jelly Roll, Kathryn L. McLaughlin, Lady Trumpet Inc. (Syreeta Thompson), Lui and Wan Foundation, Modern Songbook Society (Nicole Zuraitis), Pacific Bridge Arts Foundation, Sheth Family Foundation, Splice, The Alexander David Burnstein Memorial Fund for Musical Performance, The Cindy Charles Scholarship, and The Recording Academy®.
Now in its 22nd year, Grammy Camp focuses on all aspects of commercial music and features various career tracks in all four locations: Music Business; Instrumental Performance; Music Production; and Songwriting and Vocal Performance. Each location will incorporate a curriculum tailored to its unique musical heritage, offering specialized tracks such as Musical Theater and Instrumental Performance surrounding Jazz Music. In Los Angeles, students will learn in a cohort-based model where every subject area is integrated. Students will collaborate across all track disciplines as a team, learning through the lens of artistry, entrepreneurship and a DIY mindset. Faculty are Grammy-winning and -nominated professionals, Recording Academy members, industry experts, and notable guest artists, offering participants an exclusive glimpse into real-world music career pathways.
