Band Program Information and Professional Coaches
Our rock, jazz and blues ensembles provide an opportunity for all musicians to experience different genres of music.
The program allows classically trained musicians to crossover to contemporary ensemble playing. Our Berklee School of Music trained instructors make every effort to accommodate all instrumentalists. Each band participates in live performances, one of which is held in a professional venue.
ROCK BANDS
*Guitar, Bass, Percussion, Keys, Voice, Winds, Brass, Violin* Performing with others is an essential element to any musical education. With a professional coach, students will learn performance skills, improvisation, communication as a group, as well as practice techniques. All bands will participate in live performances throughout the year, including one in a professional venue. Each year five deserving students receive the Billy Kroner Scholarship for demonstrating outstanding musical ability, given through faculty recommendations.
