SoundLab:
Electronic Music STEM

Spring & Summer Camps for Ages 8-18

Columbus, OH

No experience necessary!

Whether your student is already producing music at home or has no music experience whatsoever, this class will empower them to explore their musical interests and talents while gaining practical knowledge about the technological side of music production.
Beginners and advancing students alike will thrive on this tech-driven quest.

Hands-on mentorship tailored to each student

With one-on-one help from real electronic musicians, students succeed and gain confidence with STEM and Music.

Camps & Classes for Ages 8-12, 9-14, and 14-18

We offer a variety of camps including Game Music Camp, Synth Adventure Camp, and A.I. Music Camp

Tactile, Hands-On Music Creation Perfect for Neurodivergent Students​

We use lots of physical, analog instruments rather than just computers to make music. This approach is perfect for ASD and other learning differences because kids can hyper-focus on an instrument, explore sounds, and learn how to explore more effectively. Registration through the Delaware county board of disability (DCBDD) is available upon request.

Explore industry-standard electronic music production, composition, and performance techniques

During class, students will use pro-level music gear including Modular Synthesizers, Analog Synthesizers, Drum Machines, and computer software (GarageBand and Ableton Live 12) to create and perform tracks in whatever genre/style they wish!

Relieve stress and improve focus

This year, SoundLab will focus on music creation as a technique for relieving stress and improving focus. We’ll make a lot of relaxing ‘ambient’ music, and music for dancing! We’ll explore DJ techniques so that students can not only create but also perform their own music.

Make music with like-minded peers

SoundLab is a project-based, hands-on, collaborative STEM learning experience. Students work individually and in teams (aka bands) to create music and finish challenges. Many of our students still work together to this day!

Returning / Advanced students welcome!

Returning students will pick up where they left off, but new students will get the full intro to using our fun music gadgets and apps, and plenty of one-on-one instruction.

Incorporate other instruments

If your child already plays an instrument, we’re excited to help integrate that into their electronic compositions.

Supportive environment that encourages exploration and creativity

This isn’t just about learning music; it’s about experiencing the joy of creation and performance.

Our students gain practical knowledge about the technological side of music production in a fun and supportive environment that encourages exploration and creativity.

Music + STEM = Electronic Musicians' Camp​

For Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced Students Alike!​ Columbus Ohio’s first music summer camp for students who want to learn to produce tracks, make beats, and compose electronic music. Looking for Ableton Live lessons? Music production classes? Our summer music camp prepares students to produce electronic music like the pros.

Students at our music camps have continual hands-on experience with the latest software and hardware tools used by their favorite artists. As such, Electronic Musicians’ Camp is the perfect combination of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) and Art, which is sometimes referred to as STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math).

With one-on-one help from real musicians and producers, students with little-to-no prior experience can quickly develop their skills, find their ‘sound’, and begin producing the music they’ve always wanted to produce. Intermediate and advanced students will learn just as much, as our instructors tailor lessons and activities to individual skill levels. Wherever you are in your musical journey, our goal is to help you progress to the next level.

Elementary school, middle school and high school students in Columbus, Ohio looking for a STEM summer camp that focuses on the technological side of music production should get excited!

As a graduate, you'll be able to:

"...I really wanted to say thanks for having such an amazing camp! It was an awesome experience to learn from real electronic musicians and play around with many varieties of synths. What you guys taught me really has opened my eyes to the workflow and details of production [that] producers should know. I seriously appreciate what you guys showed me, I haven't been more motivated to make my own music and learn even more."
