Build-A-Band is a rock band summer camp where kids come together to form real bands, learn real songs, and make real music

Campers try out instruments like guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and vocals, then team up with fellow musicians to build a band from the ground up. With guidance from experienced instructors, campers learn the basics of playing in a group; keeping a beat, listening to each other, writing parts, and bringing songs to life together.

Each day mixes hands-on music making, band rehearsals, creative games, and confidence-building activities in a fun, supportive environment.Rooted in Oakland’s rich music culture, Build-A-Band is all about collaboration, creativity, and letting kids discover their own sound.
