SUMMER CAMPS
Interactive Performances (ages 4 and up)
SungBeats presents a unique, high-energy summer camp show with a major focus on interaction and crowd participation. Sung will begin his performance by amazing campers with champion-level beatboxing and teaching them how to beatbox in a fun, playful way, making improvised beats using their names, and getting the entire camp to beatbox at the same time! He will then transition into vocal looping and recreate hit songs that campers can sing and dance along to. Every show is filled with big laughs and audience interaction, as Sung will continue to bring volunteers to the stage and record their vocal sounds to make live music on the spot on the loop pedal. Sung will custom-tailor his performance to groups of all ages and is happy to break up larger camps into multiple sessions.
Interactive Workshops (ages 4 and up)
For a more hands-on learning experience, SungBeats offers interactive beatbox workshops for groups of under 50 kids. Kids will explore their voices and learn how to make vocal percussion, sound effects, basselines, trumpets, and vocal scratches in a fun, collaborative environment. Kids will immerse themselves in playing games involving beatboxing, singing, and rhythm, both solo and in group settings. Sung will conclude by allowing students to sample and loop their voices on a loopstation and craft full songs, which could involve rapping, beatboxing, and singing. Sung can deliver multiple workshops in one day.
Interactive Workshop + Showcase What You Learn (ages 8 and up)
SungBeats will run multiple workshops earlier in the day and prepare members from each workshop to perform later in the evening during Sung’s final evening performance. This is a perfect way to get campers to practically apply what they learned in a performance setting, teaching them confidence, teamwork and self-expression.

To put it simply, beatboxing is the art of musical expression using the human voice. Percussion, strings, trumpets, basses, synthesizers, and many other sounds can be replicated and artistically arranged to create real music. The art form, which gained popularity in the 1980s, is not necessarily confined to hip-hop or any single genre. Beatboxing is simply a tool or instrument for musical expression!
