We are looking for an inspiring, greatly skilled, organized, and enthusiastic Producer/Songwriter to work with campers (ages 8-15) at this highly regarded sleep-away summer camp.

Recording studio is equipped with Pro Tools, Ableton, Logic, and Reason as well as Native Instrument Komplete 13.

Classes to be led include Songwriting & Recording, Beat Production, and Collaborative Musical Games. Other types of music classes you may want to facilitate are welcome as well.

For over 20 years, Music Ascension www.musicascension.com has worked to inspire camp communities by helping young people discover, develop, and share their creative voices by writing and recording their own original songs.

Music Ascension will provide mastering engineer and graphic designer. Mixing engineer can be provided if needed.

Although you will have the ability to use the recording studio for your own work at night and off hours, please know this is not an Artist-In-Residence position and you will often need to use non-teaching time for session prep as well as post production responsibilities.
