Activity Overview
For musicians, Grade 3-5, in year 6 and above, playing guitar, bass, keys, synths, singers, drum, saxophone, trumpet and string players, this course offers an opportunity to form a band and work together on creating music – either by learning a cover or creating their own masterpiece.
Students will experience what it feels like to work together in a band, to collaborate on new material and to experience what it takes to put together a great performance!
Day 1 Students will jam together in the morning to get to know each other and form bands. They will then go to a practice room with their band where they will receive expert coaching from teachers with professional experience and start to write and compose their songs.
Day 2 Bands will work on their set, practicing in their rooms and developing their songs.
Day 3 Bands will play their set in another practice room where constructive feedback will be given, in preparation for the concert for family and friends at 2.45pm
The Rock & Pop courses are popular, and applicants will be placed on a waiting list until there are enough students signed up to create a band, at which time, those students will be moved on to the course and parents/carers contacted to confirm their place. Lists will be monitored regularly and students added each time a new band is viable. So, it is advisable to apply straight away to ensure a place.
If your child plays more than one instrument and would be happy to play either, please do let us know as this helps with planning.
