Music Lessons

Hello Folks,

We are excited to welcome students to our upcoming ROCKNPOP workshop on SUNDAY NOV 8 at 12PM-3PM in the Performing Arts Room. Our goal is to provide a fun, supportive, and relaxed environment where students can explore new instruments and experience playing in a band.

No prior practice or experience is necessary. We will be learning manageable, versions of classic songs like Blue Orchid, Enter Sandman and Dirty Deeds. 

Instruments will then be decided between the group members. 

What to Bring

• Snacks and drinks to keep energy levels up.
• An iPhone or iPad if students wish to record their final performances.
• Drumsticks, if they have a preferred pair (we will also have pairs available).
• Students can bring Noise-cancelling earmuffs if they prefer them. We will provide free reusable earplugs for everyone, and we closely monitor sound levels with a decibel meter to ensure a safe environment.

Workshop Schedule

Hour 1: Instrument Introductions

Introduction to the Guitar, Bass, Synth, and Drums, exploring sound effects and styles. 

First hour ends with a 10-minute drink and ear-protection break.

Hour 2: Trying Out the Instruments

Students will spend time exploring each instrument station for the remainder of the hour, learning an agreed band song/s and instrument/s selection, followed by a short drink and ear-protection break

Hour 3: Playing as a Band

Students will form in a group and choose songs for quick rotations and improvisation. Respectful recording is welcome. Ends with a final break and discussion.

We look forward to a wonderful day of making music. 

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out.

Cheers,

Simon
