Are you a young musician or vocalist that is looking for the opportunity to Be In Your Own Band?

This class focuses on playing with other musicians in a band setting, and is open to bass, guitar, drum, keyboard and vocal students. Other instruments can be accommodated if you first contact the instructor. Some experience is REQUIRED. Guitar and bass players should be able to tune their instruments and find notes on the neck. Drummers must be able to play a basic consistent beat. Keyboard players should know the names of chords and notes on their instrument if they cannot read music. Class covers song structure, rehearsal and performance skills in addition to some reading, songwriting, and music theory.

A list of cover songs selected from student suggestions is chosen in the first few weeks of each 10 week session. We then learn to play the songs from music charts (staff and tablature) provided by the instructor, with every student required to learn and perform at least 3 songs (more are strongly encouraged!). Original compositions are sometimes explored. A live performance open to families and friends wraps up the session. Performance will be held either on-site or at a local venue depending on student/parent/instructor preference and schedules. Students who play more than one instrument or wish to experiment with vocals are generally encouraged to do so.

Classes are held in Everett, MA. Cost is $15 per student per class, payable at the first class of a 10 class session. An opportunity for students to perform as a group is included in the cost.

Please specify your primary instrument when registering. Drum kit and amplification for guitar & bass are provided in addition to PA systems for keys and vocals. Bring your own instrument, cable, tuner and sticks as applicable. *Please note: This class may not be appropriate for beginning musicians. Any questions about requirements or conditions, or to register call Renee Solano at 617-387-0709 or email renee@talkingmule.com
