This class gives young musicians the chance to experience what it’s like to be in a real rock band. Students will build on what they’re learning in their private lessons and apply those skills in a group setting—playing songs together, learning to listen, and working as a team. There will be a showcase on the last day of class for their friends and families to come and watch.
Each week, students will:
- Rehearse popular rock songs as a band
- Practice timing, rhythm, and group coordination
- Learn about song structure, dynamics, and stage presence
- Build confidence through collaboration and performance
Instruments include drums, guitar, bass, piano, and vocals. Students should have basic experience on their instrument. This is a great next step for students ready to make music with others and have fun doing it.
