MediaTracks Writing Camps
What We Offer
Partnerships Camps for Underrepresented Voices
Through our partnerships, we are proud to offer camps specifically designed for groups that have been underrepresented in the production music industry. For example, our previous camp for Young Composers (in partnership with TYX), our Latin American camp, and our upcoming Production Music Writing Camp for Women and People of Marginalised Genders. These camps provide a supportive environment for individuals to explore their creativity, develop practical skills, and network with industry professionals.
Commercial Camps for Educational Institutions
In addition to our specialised camps, we also offer commercial programs for colleges, universities, and institutions. These camps provide participants with a deeper understanding of the production music industry, covering topics such as:
- Comprehensive knowledge of the production music industry
- Practical, hands-on music production skills (following real-life briefs)
- Networking opportunities with industry professionals and fellow artists
- Career insights, including discovering new roles and revenue streams
- Business acumen, including understanding contracts and royalties
- Project showcase and expert feedback from our judging panel
- Kickstart to building a professional composer portfolio
- Personal development in teamwork, communication, and problem-solving
Highlights from Previous Camps
Our previous camps, including the MTxTYX Young Composers Camp and the Latin Writing Camp, have provided participants with invaluable experiences and opportunities. For example, from the Latin Writing Camp, we proudly published four albums of authentic Latin music, showcasing the talent and creativity of our participants.
