Beginner Rock Band
The beginner Rock Band is great for students between the ages of 10 to 15 years old. The emphasis of this ensemble is learning to play your part within the structure of a band. Students in this ensemble are expected to have the basics of their instruments down, but will be given the opportunity learn the basics of a group performance. The Middlesex Music Academy Rock Band is a great way to apply the skills you've learned in your lessons. The Ensemble Program encourages teamwork and demands collaboration. The ensemble is a four month program that will challenge your ability and force you to practice more. Each rehearsal will be an hour long session every other week at Middlesex Music Academy. The program will conclude with a live performance at a public venue where friends and family can see you at your best!
