Intro to Rock Band

About our Intro to Rock Band Program

Intro to Rock Band is an 8-week group course for beginners who want to experience the thrill of playing music together—while trying out every role in the band.
Each week, students will rotate between guitar, bass, drums, keys, and vocals, so they can discover which instrument they enjoy most. Along the way, they’ll learn how to rehearse, listen, and perform as part of a real rock group. We’ll focus on teamwork, timing, and stage presence while playing classic and contemporary rock songs. By the end, you’ll be ready to jam with confidence—no matter which instrument you choose to stick with.

Week 1 – Meet the Band & Basic Groove: Get introduced to every instrument in the band and learn the basics of how to make a sound on each one. Play a simple groove together as a group.
Week 2 – Drums & Rhythm: Spend the week on the drum kit and percussion instruments. Learn to keep time, play a steady beat, and add basic fills.
Week 3 – Bass & The Groove Foundation: Discover how the bass works with the drums to create the backbone of a song. Practice simple bass lines to popular rock rhythms.
Week 4 – Guitar Riffs & Chords: Learn power chords, single-note riffs, and how to play in time with the rhythm section.
Week 5 – Keys & Song Textures: Experiment with rock keyboard sounds, from classic organ chords to synth leads. Learn how keys can fill out a band’s sound.
Week 6 – Vocals & Stage Presence: Practice singing into a mic with confidence, matching pitch, and adding rock energy. Learn how to work the stage and interact with the audience.
Week 7 – Choose Your Role & Dress Rehearsal: Pick your favorite instrument from the rotation. Rehearse the full set list in your chosen role, polishing transitions and group timing.
Week 8 – Live Band Performance: Perform as a rock band for your classmates, friends, and family, showing off what you’ve learned and your chosen role in the band.

FAQ

How old does my child have to be to start taking music lessons?

Music lessons are great at any age! But we focus on primary instruments starting at around 5.

Do you offer instrument rentals?

Yes we do! Most of our instrument rentals are $25 a month, or $35 a month if you need an amplifier. No security deposit, but a minimum 2 month rental to give you time to pick the perfect instrument for you with the help of your teacher.

Do I need to stay for my child’s lesson?

You are welcome to drop off your child and return a few minutes before their lesson is done! If you would like to sit in on your child’s music class, we always have an open door policy and you are free to sit in at any time.

How long does it take to learn an instrument?

There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn an instrument. With regular practice, a basic level of playing can be accomplished in a few months. Most of our students take lessons on a long term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable.

How many students in each group class.

Classes range from 5- 8 students. Class size varies to make sure all students get individual attention.

Can I watch group classes?

Due to space constraints, and for all the student to feel a sense of community, we do not allow individuals other than participants be in the room during the time of the lesson.

How much do classes cost? What's included?
