I was just wondering if you need to know how to read music to attend the camp? Is it okay if you normally just use tabs?

Where is the one located that you are wanting to attend, please? I see a number of them listed on the Internet.

If it's like most music camps that I have attended where you will be receiving instruction, I would think that they would place people in groups according to their individual ability and knowledge. As such, I think that if you normally just use tabs, it would be okay.

But, there may be certain requirements for the one that you might want to attend. So, it would help to know where it is located.

Thanks!

Thanks for your help! The camp is in Cleveland

What is quoted below, I found on the following site. Camp Jam - Cleveland - MySummerCamps.com

So, the camp would seem to be for a number of different age and skill levels with opportunities for all to learn new things that will help them to grow, musically.

As such, I don't think that you have to worry about being able to read music. They will accept you and work with you wherever you are at in your musical development. Just being able to read tabs should be just fine with them!

If you go, I hope that you have a great time! :)
