Rockademia!

We’re in the news!

Check out this great article about our Rockademia program from Stephen Hu of The Free Lance-Star.

What is Rockademia?

Rockademia is a unique program at BANG! Music designed to teach musicians how to work with one another in a band. These group lessons focus on cooperation and collaboration, and will teach students how to create lasting musical partnerships.


How does it work?

The classes are held at BANG! Music on Sundays from 12:30pm to 2:00pm. Tuition is $200 per student.

Students are formed into bands of 4 to 5 musicians. Coaches spend time with each student teaching the essentials of learning and rehearsing a set of songs, the differences between playing alone and in a group, and how to create melody, harmony, and rhythm in a band environment.

There are occasional guest appearances from other BANG! Music instructors or local professional musicians, who will give seminars on specific topics.

What do I need?

Because the classes are focused on the band dynamic and not instrument instruction, students must have prior experience with their chosen instrument. You don’t have to be a pro – if you can play along to a recording, you can learn to play the real thing with a group!

If you play an easily portable instrument like a guitar or bass, you will want to bring that – but if you’re a drummer or a pianist, just bring your sticks or fingers.

A notebook is recommended but not mandatory.
