Music Makers NY's Premier Adult Band Ensemble Program will enhance your understanding of how a band works. We’ll break down each song in detail, stretch out, learn beginnings & endings, and refine solos, rhythms, patterns & leads. You’ll gain control over sound and technique, go over individual parts & combine them to create a better band sound. Learn different ways to approach a song while gaining confidence as a player. Play & learn from an advanced-level instructor. Each participant receives access to our student portal where you'll be able to access all class materials.
