Band Classes
"Music isn't just learning notes and playing them, you learn notes to play to the music of your soul."
Katie Greenwood
Our Band Classes are an exciting musical journey designed to elevate your musicianship and performance abilities.
These 12-week classes bring together small groups of 2 drummers, 2 bassists, 3 guitarists, 2 keyboardists, and 2 vocalists to create a diverse ensemble that fosters collaboration and creativity.
Each class learns up to nine stylistically diverse songs selected to stretch and challenge their musical abilities. Songs can include anything from Rock to Pop, Funk to Blues, and Jazz to Country.
The Band Classes are organised into three skill levels—foundational, intermediate, and advanced. Before placement, we meet with each participant for a brief assessment to determine the most suitable class for their current ability.
Across all three levels, participants are expected to learn each song as well as possible before the class. This allows us to dive straight into playing, focusing on the unique challenges each week presents, and maximises our time together.
Once assessed and offered a spot, a £100 non-refundable deposit (Inc VAT) is required to secure your place, with the remaining balance due 10 days before the first class.
Each term culminates in an end-of-term gig, where participants get to showcase their progress in a live performance. This celebration is not only a rewarding experience but also a moment to honour the dedication and effort put in by you and your fellow musicians.
Before enrolling, please check your schedule to confirm that you can attend at least 80% of the sessions. Your commitment is essential to both the group’s success and the overall flow of the class.
Finally, If you’re unable to join this term but are interested in a future term, let us know! We’ll prioritise getting you into the next round of classes when we’re building the schedule.
