Black Sabbath V.S. Metallica

Saturdays 10:00 - 12:30 While the phrase “Heavy Metal” had been thrown about during the '60s, it took the arrival of Black Sabbath to fully realize the genre. Considered the pioneers of heavy metal, Black Sabbath are rock and roll legends.

After 50+ years, despite lineup changes (Ronnie James Dio as vocalist being the most notable), band names (including both the Polka Tuck Blues Band and Earth), and inter-band personality conflicts, Black Sabbath have still emerged as the first and most influential heavy metal band in rock history. Major musical concepts employed by Black Sabbath that the students will learn include alternate tunings, changes in tempo and feel, and improvisation. Metallica, one of the most influential and iconic heavy metal bands in history, has carved a place for themselves in the pantheon of rock music.

Metallica’s story is one of perseverance, artistic growth, and the unyielding pursuit of their musical vision. They have navigated through triumphs and tragedies, evolving their sound while staying true to their heavy metal roots. Metallica’s enduring legacy and impact on multiple generations of fans and musicians are a testament to the enduring power of their music. As they continue to tour, release new material, and inspire the world, Metallica’s journey remains a compelling narrative of passion and dedication, solidifying their place among the greatest bands in the history of rock music. This show is sure to be incredibly fun for your student rocker, and will aid in their development to the next musical level.

Southern Rock

Saturdays 1:00 - 3:30 Southern Rock encompasses more than just music generated by bands south of the Mason-Dixon Line. It’s a vibe and emotion that stems from a long painful history of racism, oppression, economic hardship, and classism. However the very spirit of Southern Rock is one of healing and reconciliation. Rock and Roll has deep roots in the South, and this show will feature the best of Southern Rock through the years – from early artists such as Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis, to bluesy southern rockers like The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, and Bonnie Raitt, to modern practitioners like Gary Clark Jr., Carrie Underwood, and The Black Crowes. The Southern Rock show will thrust guitar players to the forefront with guitar harmonies and advanced soloing based on the pentatonic scale. Bass players will dig deep into groove playing. Drummers will learn to play through different feels like shuffles, boogies, and half-time and double-time transitions. Keyboardists will be challenged with new styles as they utilize diverse sounds ranging from piano to Hammond organ to Rhodes electric piano. Vocalists will gain an understanding of Southern-style harmony and emotive singing. This show offers many challenges for ambitious and experienced players!
