OUR PROGRAMS
LITTLE WING (AGES 4-5)
- A year-round program for preschoolers that teaches foundational music skills through group activities and games. Kids will listen to classic rock music and learn basic skills in rhythm, pitch, and dynamics.
- One weekly group class, 45 minutes in length
ROOKIES (AGES 6-7)
- A year-round program for young kids with no previous musical experience to explore all of the rock instruments. They will get hands-on opportunities to play with the guitar, bass, drums, keys, and microphone vocals, learn music fundamentals like melody, song structure, rhythm, and chords. Once a student has decided on an instrument to pursue, they will begin private lessons with one of our teachers in preparation for Rock 101
- One weekly group class, an hour in length. No at-home practice required
ROCK 101 (AGES 8-13, BEGINNER)
- A weekly band rehearsal, plus a weekly private lesson, where students learn simplified classic rock songs for beginner musicians. Students will learn the songs from their private teachers, and then learn how to play in a group environment through the band rehearsal. Band rehearsal is 90 minutes, private lesson is a choice of either 45 minutes or 30 minutes
PERFORMANCE PROGRAM (AGES 8-18, SEASONAL)
- A weekly band rehearsal, plus a weekly private lesson, where students learn rock songs by playing with their peers. Each program theme will have a setlist of songs, with each student assigned a few songs in that setlist to rehearse and practice during the band rehearsal. Students will also use the weekly private lessons to practice their songs more closely and further develop skills and concepts found in the music. At the end of the season the program will put on a show at a live venue.
- Band rehearsal is 2 1/2 hours, private lesson is a choice of either 45 minutes or 30 minutes

This show will simultaneously inspire and challenge students, and lead to a crowd-pleasing concert!
ADULT PROGRAM (AGES 18+)

Whether the student is a complete beginner or looking to elevate their musical proficiency, adults learn music in band through performance-based music education, and take the stage to play a live show.
