Rock Band Ensembles
About Rock Ensemble
Music House Rock Band is a weekly group class that learns and performs rock songs as well as other band-voted songs (past songs include Where Is My Mind by The Pixies, Buddy Holly by Weezer, and All The Small Things by Blink 182)!
Rock Band students learn how to play rock songs as they were meant to be played – with other musicians! They learn how to communicate as a band and work as a team, gain independence on their own part, and develop performance skills.
Group learning is not only more fun for students, but also can be much more motivating than individual lessons alone. In group classes, students reinforce the skills they've learned in private lessons, while also learning new skills required for ensemble playing. Just like learning a language, music is better learned when immersed in a community of other music-makers!
Students who participate in the Rock Ensemble will also have additional performance opportunities throughout the year!
