From being “Idol” to helping youth—More than 40 talented singers and musicians of middle school and high school-age from Alabama and Mississippi were selected to participate in the 2009 Ruben Studdard Music Camp on the Birmingham-Southern campus. For two weeks, the students have been experiencing hands-on instruction in songwriting, instruments, voice, music theory, and on-stage performance with guidance by Studdard and certified local music teachers and professionals. Grammy Award-winning songwriter and music producer Harold Lilly of Los Angeles made a guest appearance to talk about his career. The youth will share their achievements with the public in a camp finale concert Friday, July 24, at 6 p.m. in the college's Hill Music Building. “These kids have been given a gift by the college—the opportunity to learn in a beautiful environment,” commented Studdard. “Thank you, Birmingham-Southern!” Sponsors of the camp include the Ruben Studdard Foundation for the Advancement of Children in the Arts, Cox Radio Inc., and Target. Emily Studdard, Ruben's mother, is serving as camp administrator and coordinator.
