Garageband

Garageband class is a small ensemble course of instruction for musicians who wish to experience all the facets of playing, rehearsing and performing with a real band.  Each band consists of three or more musicians.  The typical lineup of a band is rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass and drums with someone in the band also covering vocals.  Occasionally a true dedicated vocalist is used as well.  Other instruments can be added to any band, players on all instruments are welcome to participate in rock band class.  Keyboard players, fiddle players, pedal steel guitarists and auxiliary percussion and other players are also welcome. Garageband will include some facets of audio and visual production as part of the curriculum.

*Anyone can participate in a band as long as they have minimal skills on their instrument.  If you are interested in this activity but do not have any musical training, you should consider a month or two of lessons on your instrument before taking garageband.
