Girls Can Rock Too

(PR) Rock 'n' Roll isn't just for the boys. Girls can rock, too, as evidenced by powerful women rockers like Joan Jett, Chrissie Hynde, Sleater-Kinney, Le Tigre, and others. To carry on this torch, the Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls has taught girls ages 8-18 to harness their inner artist and rock out since 2001. The one-week camp takes girls of all skill levels and teaches them how to play an instrument, form and run a band, write songs, and promote their work while building community and self-esteem.

Now, girls all over the world can join the movement with Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls, a new book that collects the lessons of the Camp into one fun, educational and encouraging resource. Each chapter guides girls through different aspects of performance in a positive, inspiring way. They will learn how to: * write a song * choose the right instrument * set up mics, PAs, and amps * make a record * start, book and promote a band

Along the way, girls will learn valuable lessons on how to be true to themselves, their visions and their art from musicians such as Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney), Beth Ditto (Gossip), camp volunteers and past campers.

The Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls, a nonprofit organization devoted to building girls' self-esteem through music creation and performance, is located in Portland, Oregon. It was recently the subject of Girls Rock! a documentary that premiered in March 2008. Find out more about the camp at www.girlsrockcamp.org; visit the movie's site at www.GirlsRockMovie.com.
