The final class of each semester consists of a warm-up rehearsal and performance.
Next Session begins the week of January 30, 2012.
The Adult Cover Band is geared towards the advanced beginner/intermediate adult
player who is interested in jamming on his or her favorite tunes in a fun but challenging
atmosphere with like-minded players. The set list is made up of songs brought in
by each member of the group in addition to appropriate teacher chosen pieces. We’ll
cover a wide range of genres from early country, 60’s rock, punk rock, blues, and
alternative rock, just to name a few.
Cover Band participants are encouraged to sing at least one song. We’ll focus on:
- Developing the skills necessary to make each tune a unique take on a classic
- Listening skills within an ensemble setting
- How to give an effective performance
A gig is held at WCMS at the end of each semester where the best tunes are performed
in front of family and friends.
