Pop Academy: Bands
This is what it’s all about. YOU are the band. You create the set list. You dive deep into the music-making experience. YOU rock the show. Join our incredibly talented team of instructors as they guide you and your friends through all the parts of being in a band. Performances throughout the year with live audiences – the real deal!
Not to be missed for all the rock stars out there.
Once you are registered, bands will be created based on instrument and playing level balance.
Pop Academy: Theory
Learn all the ins and outs of how music is created, with advanced and general level options.
Included in your registration! Contact the front desk for more information.
This class will be all about the process and learning!
Pop Academy: Songwriting
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.
