Power Chord Academy launches BandSearch 2009

Power Chord Academy™, the nation's leading summer camp for amateur musician training, is extremely excited to announce BandSearch 2009! Bands will be chosen to win free tuition to AMPLIFY - PCA's Performance 1-day Music Program!

AMPLIFY students attend 1 day, play in a band, write songs, attend seminars, work with a producer, play a concert, and meet a pro touring band and attend a private concert. It is a perfect opportunity for musicians to hone their work, perform a professionally produced concert, and network with other serious musicians.

"We are continually impressed and excited by the quality of music produced by younger, unsigned bands, and want to provide these young musicians with the opportunity to meet and work with professionals," says Admissions Director Dave Wood.

Power Chord Academy's 2009 locations are New York, Boston, Miami, Washington DC, Chicago, Dallas, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles. For a complete list of dates/locations, click the following link:
