Music Stars Share Their Trade with Kids at Grammy Camp
13 December 2010
Young musicians attend a Los Angeles summer camp and got tips from music industry professionals.
MARIO RITTER: Welcome to Explorations in VOA Special English. I’m Mario Ritter. This week, find out about the Mars Science Laboratory known as “Curiosity.” The American space agency launched the planetary explorer in November. Faith Lapidus tells us about Curiosity.
And we tell about the art work of the famous jeweler Karl Faberge. He created some of the most beautiful -- and valuable -- jewelry ever made for the imperial family of Russia. Bob Doughty tells us about a recent show of his work.
But first, Barbara Klein tells us about a camp where young people learn what it takes to become a music star.

BARBARA KLEIN: Getting a job in the music business is not easy. But getting advice from people who have already succeeded could help. That is the hope of more than one hundred young musicians who attended a camp in Los Angeles this past summer. Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers told the wannabe stars about the importance of social media.
NICK JONAS: “Social media was incredibly important for my brothers and I at the beginning of our career and still is today. With Twitter and YouTube and Facebook, there are so many instant ways to connect with your fans.”
BARBARA KLEIN: Other music professionals also shared their knowledge at the week-long camp. The event is part of “Grammy in the Schools,” a project from the organizers of the music industry's Grammy Awards.
