SPRING '23 JAM SESSIONS

Our rock band jam sessions and workshops are designed for musicians ages 11+ who want to play with other musicians and put their skills into practice, while playing some great classic rock songs.

Each session will be available for 2 drummers, 2 bassists, 4 guitarists, 2 singers and 2 keyboard players. Please note that not everyone will play on each song but we will make sure that each musician will play an equal amount. (We do not believe in favoritism. Everyone is equal in our book!)

Due to limited space and time we can only have a certain number of musicians at each session.

In order to secure a spot please contact us in advance using the Signup Form below. It will be on a first-come-first-serve basis however, we may not be able to allow the same musicians to attend each session as we want to everyone to have an opportunity to play. If necessary we may add more sessions as we go.

Make sure to read the REQUIREMENTS AND EQUIPMENT section below as we can not accommodate beginners who are not quite ready to play in a live-band setting yet.

We will be providing a song list for each session a week prior to each session. You can see a complete list of the songs we will be choosing by clicking HERE. 

​

Use the CLICK TO SIGNUP button at the bottom of the page to request a spot for any of the upcoming sessions. Again we are not able to accommodate anyone who comes without signing up first.

SUMMER '23 ROCK BAND WORKSHOPS

Our Rock Band jam sessions and workshops are designed for students who want to practice their skills, play songs by their favorite bands or singers, get the some band experience and meet other musicians. The intention is to give them a sense of ownership of the band by letting them suggest songs they want to play. They get to create a name for their band and, after working on their set of songs, put on a concert at the end of the week. The concerts take place on the last day of each week at 7pm and everyone is invited to watch and support.

 

REQUIREMENTS & EQUIPMENT

Below are the minimum requirements for our Rock Band Workshops:

• Guitarists must be able to play bar chords (major and minor) and ideally know how to read chord symbols (C major, D minor, E7, etc.)

• Bassists must know where the notes are and be able to play a consistent rhythm

• Drummers must be able to play a steady beat for at least 4 minutes

• Keyboardists must know the notes and (ideally) know how to read chord symbols (C major, D minor, E7, etc.)

• Keyboards, drums and amps will be provided. All other musicians must bring their own instruments
   

​MOST IMPORTANT THING

We encourage all young musicians to take our workshops for a variety of reasons.

1. We are all about equality and fairness

2. Our support helps students build confidence and communication skills

3. Students connect with others through music, often making friends along the way

4. The experience they will gain will stay with them forever

5. We give the musicians a place where they can turn up the volume and let loose!
