Rock Band

Rock band sessions help students understand and practice the art of collaboration, teamwork, and discipline in a fun and supportive setting. Through small group rehearsals, students sharpen their "band" skills to prepare for live performances and to become more mature musicians. UpBeat rock bands *perform quarterly at local music venues and street festivals. Students are coached by professional musicians and learn how to manage a rehearsal, communicate clearly, listen more effectively, and to inspire others through performances. These 60-minute weekly classes help students utilize their existing musical skills, stretch them as performers, and prepare for a live show with their bandmates.
