Movie Music Lab
1-Week Summer Camp

Movie Music Lab is a fun, hands-on creative camp for students ages 11–14 who love movies, music, and storytelling. Throughout the week, campers work together to create a short film and design the sounds and music that bring it to life.

Students explore how movie soundtracks and sound effects shape emotion and action, learning the basics of film scoring, Foley sound creation, recording techniques, and simple sound editing. Working in small teams, campers help write scenes, film short moments, record sound effects using everyday objects, and compose original music to match what’s happening on screen.

With guidance from an experienced instructor, students take on creative roles such as composer, sound designer, Foley artist, camera operator, or performer, discovering how teamwork and imagination turn ideas into finished projects.

The week ends with a final screening for families, where students share their film and talk about how they created the music and sounds behind it.

Movie Music Lab is perfect for curious, creative students with basic musical experience who are ready to explore how sound and storytelling work together.
