Grammy Music Camp 2006

LOS ANGELES (Recording Academy) - Last year's GRAMMY Camp, held in Los Angeles, was a huge success. A total of 47 students from across the United States took part in a nine-day program consisting of interactive instruction culminating in a recorded CD and live Showcase Concert. As the GRAMMY Foundation kicks off its second year of GRAMMY Camp, all Recording Academy members (of which I am one) are being asked to share the info below with anyone who meets the requirements and would benefit from being involved in this unique program. As the recording industry's leading membership based organization, the Recording Academy and its charitable arm, the GRAMMY Foundation, are excited about being able to bring this and other educational outreach programs to high school students interested in a career in music and the recording industry.

The GRAMMY Foundation invites youth ages 15-19 to apply for a spot at the 2006 GRAMMY Camp.
