Complete Band Program

Our band program is designed to help students develop the skills required to function within a group/ensemble and perform with other musicians. The band program is instructed by a true professional in the field using high quality equipment. Through weekly group rehearsals, students will select and prepare songs with the aim of eventually performing them in front of an audience. Although practical performance experience will be emphasized, students will also learn important theoretical concepts, such as transposition, improvisation, composition and even recording. The course also offers students with an opportunity to meet and network with other like-minded musicians. Students will be encouraged to partake in the organization and promotion of performing events and develop skills and knowledge which are imperative to the modern, performing musician. Ultimately, the band program is the perfect supplement to students’ private lessons and offers a fun and educational platform for them to not only improve their musical abilities, but boost their confidence and learn the importance of teamwork and collaboration as well; traits which will have an emphatic impact on all aspects of their lives.
