PERFORMANCE

The face of the studio at public events.

This program offers a comprehensive rock band experience, complete with instruments and performance chances. As a fast-paced, performance-oriented class, it requires students to practice both at home and during private lessons. Students must either be enrolled in private lessons for their designated instrument or have the instructor's approval. Weekly rehearsals last for one hour, and additional performance opportunities may be available. If a performance coincides with a rehearsal weekend, the concert will take the place of the rehearsal for that week.
