Muzikademy: 2011 Music Camp

Deadline: August 27, 2011

Are you ready to take the next step to improve your music skills and performance? Then join the second season of Muzikademy: 2011 Music Camp.

"Muzikademy is a gathering of young minds sharing the same passion for music". Its a 2-day workshop exclusively for out-of-school youth and college students that will surely develop their skills from being a usual musician to a highly-trained one. Skills development will be done through a series of tests and workshops from respected authorities in the music industry in our country. Muzikademy is spearheaded by Janice Hung, a Wushu champion, actress, model and at the same time, a music enthusiast and co-presented by Fontana and Janice Hung Arts and Sports Foundation. The event is to be held again in Fontana Hot Springs and Leisure Park, Clark Special Economic Zone, Pampanga. Other sponsors includes Freeway, Solo, Nikki Veneracion, Shimmian Surgi Center, LG JJ International, Dental First and Accel.

It was really an awesome experience for me when I covered the event last year and I personally witnessed how talented young Filipinos are. Each participant really thrown out the best performance they could ever give. You'll see how passionate each performers during the contest night as they sung out their original composition and their cover song. We witnessed how they used what they have learned from their trainings and workshops from various trainors like Monet Silvestre of Pinoy Dream Academy and McCoy Fundales of Kenyo (former lead vocalist of Orange and Lemons). They were fully equipped with knowledge and confidence as if they were a pro. It was really a good clash of talents and passion from young and musically-inclined Pinoys.

Great prizes awaits the winners plus you'll get a chance to meet a lot of new friends which I think is the best prize you could get in the music camp.
