The summer camp gives students a chance to improve their music industry skills. Ben LoPiccolo worked on his skills as a music reporter.
BEN LOPICCOLO: “I found that I really enjoyed writing and telling people about music that I like to kind of expand their taste.”
BARBARA KLEIN: These teenagers hope to be part of an industry that is going through big changes. Kristen Madsen at the Grammy Foundation points to the influence of social networking on sites like Facebook and Twitter.
KRISTEN MADSEN: "I would say that that’s probably the biggest theme that you can see, is watching the artists and the professionals come through and talk about, there are new ways and new roadmaps for kids to succeed in the music industry, and they have a lot more access to doing it themselves.”
BARBARA KLEIN: Thirteen-year-old Greyson Chance was preparing to release his first album. He says his career began with a music video on YouTube.
Camper Giovanni Quattrochi was hoping for a career as a music producer. He likes the way music is changing.
GIOVANNI QUATTROCHI: “Especially with hip-hop, there’s a lot of sampling of different genres of music. And I think I’m excited to see where music is going to go.”
BARBARA KLEIN: Young songwriter Elise Go says music is also becoming more international.
ELISE GO: “I’m also pretty excited. I think it’s very cool, like I’m really interested in Korean and Asian-genre music. So it’s like Korean and Chinese pop music, and they’re like fusing American influences into their music, and I feel that’s very cool to hear, like a pop song you think you’d hear on the radio in America, in like another language.”
