Big Ideas, Real Impact.

Every event we host is designed with intention, from the atmosphere we create to the way each session flows.

01
Intentional
Structure

We take the time to fine tune the band experience by grouping players of similar skill and musical interests together. Simple but far from easy, but it makes for a much more enriching experience all around.

02
Collaborative
Energy

When band classes get the core setlist down, band members are able to suggest songs to add and are vetted and voted upon.

03
Expert
Facilitation

Our instructors are currently active in the Bay Area music scene and take their real world experience in the field to help guide the next generation.

    Tier 2 - Band
    *1-3 Years of Band Experience
    With 1-3 years of group class experience, students who stick together at this point can choose an original band name and incorporate writing original compositions into the fold and professional level cover songs.

    Program Overview + Perks
    -Full Stage Backline
    -Setlist can grow to fit bands interests
    -We take age, instrument and skill level heavily into consideration so no one is ‘benched’ for maximum playtime and progress
    -Quarterly performance gigs (Additional gig opportunities depending on band skill and readiness)
    -Pairing lessons with the band program is EXTREMELY RECOMMENDED to ensure progress for the sake of the group
    -Min 2 band members to get started (Metallica started with just Lars and James jamming. You're not better or more special than Metallica or 99% of how every bands start)
    -Have an attitude of gratitude - ask not only what the band program can do for you, but what you can do to help make it the best experience for all band members involved!
