Our Band Intensives are one of the highlights of every school holidays. Students have an incredible time making new friends, playing in a band, and creating something they’re genuinely proud of. Parents are always amazed that, in just two days, each group writes, rehearses, performs, and records an original song from scratch.
Many of our bands even choose to release their songs on Spotify afterwards, which is a huge achievement and a real buzz.
Check out some testimonials from our happy students and parents below!
Real Outcomes. Real Experience.
One parent recently shared:
“What an awesome find! Our budding musician spent two days at Lila’s songwriting boot camp and came out with an original song written AND recorded, and performed live for the family to enjoy. We are so impressed with what Jesse and the team offer. It’s a real gift for the young ones to have this depth of experience and skill shared with them as they start their musical journey. Total professionalism in a warm, fun, supportive and inspiring environment. Merry Xmas Lila team and we’ll see you next year!!” – Sophie, Parent
Our holiday programs aren’t just time-fillers.
Students create.
They perform.
They build something tangible.

Band Swaps & Collaboration Camps
Students rotate through different band lineups, learning adaptability, communication and musical awareness in a fast-paced, supportive environment.
No two holiday programs are the same — but all are structured, skill-based and designed to stretch students beyond standard music lessons.
Who Our Holiday Camps Are For
Our music holiday programs are ideal for:
- Students currently taking guitar, singing, bass, keyboard or drum lessons
- Bands preparing for Smokefree Rockquest
- Young musicians wanting to write original music
- Beginners wanting immersive musical experience
- Lila students looking to level up quickly
Whether your child is new to music or already performing, our school holiday programs provide depth, momentum and inspiration.
A Music School That Goes Beyond Term Time
Unlike many school holiday camps, Lila’s programs are led by professional working musicians with real performance and industry experience.
Students don’t just “have a go.”
They are mentored.
They are challenged.
They are guided to produce something real — whether that’s an original song, a refined Rockquest set, or a live performance for family and friends.
What’s Next?
We run new holiday programs every term.
Spots are often limited.
