Rock Academy runs summer music camps and workshops in which students take an idea from initial writing through finished arrangement, working as a band or solo, and perform on the final day of camp. Sessions are led by working musicians - a vocal camp with Grammy-nominated Tracy Bonham, a 'How to Rock' camp with Jason Bittner, and songwriting with Bobby Weiss. Camps are aimed at ages 8-18 and generally require some playing experience; posted tuition runs about $475, or $425 for enrolled Rock Academy students, and space is limited. The school is at 1293 NY-212 in Saugerties and also runs year-round lessons and band programs, with additional locations in the Hudson Valley.

★★★★★Howard MeyerWonderful music school for all ages, but mainly kids 8 to 18.

Learning a ton. There are also week long summer camps. My daughter just concluded her third summer singing camp with the fantastic Tracy Bonahm (no relation to John?
