Join a Band

THIS IS A PERFORMANCE WORKSHOP! Classic Rock, Blues, and other popular genres will be covered. Are you currently taking lessons? No experience or limited experience playing with others? This workshop is for you! Learn the ins and outs of what's going on in each song. Determine what key the song is in, how to solo over the changes, find the right rhythm to play, and sing along with the other instruments. At the end of this workshop, there will be a performance at the iconic Bitter End!

Vocalists: Feel the songs & work on getting the right vocal accompaniment without having to rush through each song.
Guitar Players: Learn how to use technique and effects to complement or lead the band's sound.
Bass Players: Learn how to lay the rhythmic and harmonic foundation for the band.
Drummers: learn to lay the rhythmic foundation alongside the bassist, driving the band forward with percussion.
Keyboard players: Learn basic rhythmic and harmonic patterns to accompany pop songs and improvise. Enrich the band's sound with an assortment of synthesized sounds.

Let's open that music door together. You'll have fun making music in a non-judgmental, welcoming environment. A wide variety of rock and blues tunes are covered. Your Musical Director will select several songs for the first rehearsal. The band will play the songs to determine where everyone is at musically.
