The Collective Sound

So I just finished my 3 weeks of summer camp with the amazing Collective Sound! I had so much fun and learned hella loads from the kids and about how to make, record, and perform music, technically and creatively. It was one of my best experiences of life so I thought I'd stick it in this post!

Heres a link to The Collective Sounds website:-
