This music nature camp is the brainchild of Singapore's renowned bass player Din Safari, who is now with Jive Talking playing nightly at The Pump Room, Clarke Quay. Every bass player,...i repeat every bass player, doesn't matter which level you are in, should come to this camp. He promise you loads of fun and knowledge.

Description :
Rhythm & Groove music nature camp is a 6 days experience with about 60 students. The camp will be packed full of surprises that will begin as soon as the students arrives.
Our Goal is to build awareness by keeping each student on his/her toes at all time not knowing what is coming next. This awareness will greatly benefits you as a musician.
We will do this through lessons, games, puzzles, blindfolded exercises and many more things
designed to open up your mind and awaken the senses to the vast world of Nature.

Classes alternate between indoor and outdoor settings with each student rotating between instructors getting balanced and fun dose of Music and Nature information.
This will help show relationship between the two.The students will be involved in group exercises and lectures as well as individual instruction. Classes are designed to allow the students to ask questions as well as join in on teaching.

Plenty of healthy meals will be served each day. Vegetarian meals will be served upon served request. Each night features live performance and open dialogue allowing time for reflection on the day's activities and remaining questions the students may have.

We believe that this camp will provide a pleasant ground for all of us to experience and grow together and to make new lasting friendships.

Latest addition to the camp...Jazz piano lesson by Willy Rubano (Chic Corea of Phillipines) and Maria Angela - famous vocal teacher and veteran jazz singer.
C'mon Guys....we are giving you world-class, top-notch instructors from Asia. What more can you ask for ?
You get world-class knowledge from these instructors in just 6 days with meals, accomodation and interactive classes. You can also jam with them in the later part of the lesson. Now...Where can you get this kind of course outline? Even if you can get it elsewhere, am sure it wouldn't be the same. Just google their name and check them out.
