For many, learning to play their instrument is just the first step towards the ultimate goal of playing in a band. Finding the right group of people, a good place to rehearse, the right guidance and most importantly, a place to perform can be a real challenge. Don't sweat it, the Rock Band Experience has you covered ...
Our Rock Band Experience program is a weekly group program where small groups (bands) of players meet to rehearse popular rock songs. Each weekly rehearsal is an hour long and held in our studio with professional equipment, all supplied by us. The only things that the players bring is their guitar. Drums are provided as is the PA system. Each band is led by one of our Rock Band Coaches. Under his/her guidance, the bands learn the valuable skills of working through songs towards getting them performance ready. Then, at the end of the 10-12 week session, the bands take to the stage in a real rock club to perform for friends and family. This program is ideally suited for kids and adults who play proficiently on their instrument and have a desire to take their playing skills to the next level by playing in a band ...
Electric Rock Band ... Age 13-Adult
Our core band program based around classic "electric guitar" rock music. Bands typically consist of one or two guitars, a bass, drums and sometimes keyboards. Vocals are often covered by instrumental band members but vocalists who do not play and instrument are welcome in our programs. Bands are formed by grouping people of similar ages, similar playing abilities and similar musical preferences. Our goal with every band is for the players to grow their musical abilities while playing music that they love all while having a great time.
Rock Band Unplugged ... Age 13-Adult
Our new version of our band program designed for people who want to play in an acoustic guitar based band. Musical styles would include acoustic pop, new country and folk music. Bands would consist of 2-3 guitarist and may be exclusively acoustic or possible include an electric player or mandolin/banjo as well. Bass, drums, keyboards as well as vocalist would make up these bands. As with the electric program, members will be grouped by playing ability, age and musical preference. Again, the goal is to help participants explore the fun and excitement of playing in a real band while growing their abilities.
