About Willie Mae Rock Camp
Willie Mae Rock Camp empowers girls and gender-expansive youth through interdisciplinary music education programs that combine instrument instruction with creative technology and STEM-based learning. Through the language of music, our students develop and amplify their creative voices, gain confidence in using new technologies to express themselves, and build essential skills for future success.
We reach over 600 students ages 10-17 annually at our Brooklyn studio and partner sites throughout NYC through a range of year-round programming, including in-school music education, community workshops, and afterschool and summer intensives. Across our programs, students learn how to develop a song and create a musical track; receive hands-on instruction and practice using a range of tech including electronic instruments, software and applications, and creative coding; and work together to develop their own collaborative works. Our programs are tuition-free, and we center young people whose voices are underrepresented in both creative and tech fields. To learn more about Willie Mae Rock Camp, visit williemarockcamp.org.
