YOUNGSTERS nowadays may be big pop fans, but they know very little about what goes into producing some of the best music and what it really takes to start a career in the industry.
Through the Summer Music Camp, to be organised by Hit Radio on July 23 and July 24, youngsters can get an insight into the real pop world and understand what it is all about and how the music is created.
''This is a healthy, informative and a highly entertaining activity organised for the youths. Details about career opportunities in this field are also given during the camp,'' said Mr Keyman Key Lok-man, producer of Hit Radio.
This is the third time the annual event is being held at the Sai Kung Po Leung Kuk Holiday Camp.
A variety of activities has been organised in the form of seminars on topics such as music production and promotion; a quiz to test participants' knowledge about the pop world; and a concert by local stars.
''This concert will be different from what we normally have. Singers will share their feelings about the pop scene with the campers,'' Mr Key said. ''Besides, campers will also be encouraged to ask questions.
''I hope the participants can realise that to create good music you have to have a strong sense of co-operation and teamwork.'' Mr Davis Kwan Wai-kwong, Assistant Project Director (China) of Hit Radio, said: ''I frequently receive calls from youngsters, telling me that they really want to know more about pop music.'' He hoped the summer camp, would answer most of the youngsters' queries.
