Our Student Band Program is designed to get students playing with other musicians in a band setting.  We want students to learn how to work together as a group, improve communication on ideas, run efficient rehearsals, and manage a song catalog while learning new tunes.

Check out the Live In The Studio videos we shot at the end of our SUMMER 2016 program in this playlist:

Summer 2017 Program

Duration: This year’s program will be run more like a camp, meeting every day.  We feel that this will give the students a more rewarding experience as they will be able to accomplish more than a more drawn out program.

12pm – 2pm each day

Section 1: Direct Instruction

Organization and Music Choices
