Discover the art of performance, songwriting, production, engineering and music entrepreneurship at ASU’s Popular Music Program summer camp.

Guided by our world class faculty and staff, students will have the opportunity to explore their various interests, develop their musicianship, and prepare for studying music at the college level.

Taking place in our state of the art facility in the cultural hub of Downtown Phoenix at Fusion on First, participants will have hands-on experiences in our studio suites, performance and rehearsal spaces, writing rooms, and digital media labs, all outfitted with the latest technology.

During the day, write songs, compose and produce music on your instrument and/or computer, engineer and perform in the studio, collaborate with other students, perform on stage and get real-world advice from veteran songwriters, industry professionals, and up-and-coming artists.

At night, have a college experience by living in a dorm, going to programmed events and hanging with all the other students.

Summer camp 2026 classes include songwriting, hand percussion, live sound engineering, popular music bands (rock, R&B, and more), voice and singing, loop stations, DJ'ing and more.
