A good band needs great music. In Pop Academy Theory/Composition, you’ll learn all the tools necessary to create music for the band to play. How to write for various instruments, how to bring the pieces together, and how to teach it to the band. 

This class will be all about the process and learning – and eventually the Pop Academy Bands will play the creations!

There’s music, and there’s lyrics. Together, they are magical. 

Songwriting is a mix of tapping into your creative side as well as learning the business side of songwriting. Students participating in this group can expect to work on songs, the craft and playing, and also learn about recording studios, releasing music, playing live and more. No background necessary, but an openness to share, be creative and work hard. 

This class is designed more for the individual writers and creators, but the creations may be presented to the Pop Academy Bands for performance should it merit that fit.

Get ready to write!

There’s nothing like coming together to sing musicals, pop tunes, show tunes, jazz standards with full harmonies and love of all things music. 

SING is upbeat, encouraging, and an experience for that vocally-energized youth in your home.
