It’s sad that I’m too old to have ever gone to Willie Mae Rock Camp, a weeklong program where girls kickstart a rad band and perform at a BK venue other bands toil for years to play, and too young to have an 8-year-old kid that might attend the camp in my stead. For your kids, however, there’s no reason to be stuck between a rock (and roll) and a financial hard place: this Clinton Hill-based non-profit is expanding — and offering instrument loans and a need-based sliding-scale tuition.
The Willie Mae Rock Camp folks now conduct an after-school music lesson program that’s truly affordable for Brokelynites. Starting THIS WEEK, the organization will provide mentorship and music education to your lil Carrie Brownstein, Kathleen Hanna, or maybe even a wee(er) Marissa Paternoster, with discounted tuition available as needed (regular tuition runs $500).
