This year we’re excited to add to the camp calendar a three-day intensive beatboxing workshop with Jake Moulton. Participants will arrive on the evening of Wednesday, June 22th, and spend three days working on vocal percussion, beatboxing and vocal effects, both in live application and in the recording studio. Participants present their final projects on the evening of Saturday, June 25th, and then if they choose, can continue to work on beatboxing and a cappella music for the duration of the regular Heartland Vocal Camp, with discounted camp registration. Meal and housing fees apply. For info, please email sing@tiffin.edu.
