Adult Rock Cover Band

Per semester (15 one-hour classes): $375.00, 10% discount for WCMS private lessons students

Monday, 8-9 PM
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.

Requirements:
  • Solid knowledge of one’s primary instrument
  • Ability to read basic chord charts
  • Ability to keep a steady rhythm
  • Improv abilities are a plus but not required
  • Willingness to try new things and have fun!
  • Prior to registration, a conversation with the instructor is required. Call or email us for further information.
Drums, amps, keyboards, and PA system are provided. Maximum: 7 students
