AMP Camp is a week-long excursion into playing as a band, making friends, building confidence, exercising inclusivity, expanding creativity and learning how to rock! This camp is designed for ages 12-18 and all levels of experience are welcome.

AMP Camp will be led by experienced local musicians, along with many other musical guests! With the instructor’s guidance, participants will form bands and create original songs to be performed live on the final day of camp. We will have workshops, games, snacks and lots of fun along the way! Have a desire but no instrument? No worries! We will have guitars, basses, keyboards, microphones and drums available to play. Please join us and bring your songs and creativity to life on stage!

Join us for an all ages acoustic jam, led by Kenny Holzemer!

I am excited to announce that I will be a guitar instructor for private lessons at Buxtons in Anacortes!

Have you ever wanted to learn the guitar?
Do you have a guitar hanging on the wall that is begging to be played?
Do you want to start performing, song writing, or making a band?
Are you feeling “stuck” in your playing and need some help finding new ideas?

I want to help you with all of these things!

I grew up in a musical house. My dad was a college instructor for music and a prolific performer. This is where my education started for music. As I grew older, I started to write and perform my own songs. I have now been performing regularly as band leader for Ebb Slack and Flood and The Savage Blues Band. I have taught preschool through fourth grade for over 15 years. I have decided to leave early learning behind and really focus on sharing what I love: music.

For nearly 20 years, drums and the music that surround them have been a key fixture in my life, centered in just about everything I do, and I am so excited for the opportunity to share my passion with this amazing community, and guide you on your musical journey alongside the amazing people at the AMP project!
