The WSOM Rock Band Class is a collaborative, hands-on music program where students learn to play and rehearse as a group and perform popular contemporary music together.

Course Overview & Objectives

  • Collaborative Jamming: Focuses on group rehearsal rather than isolated practice, teaching students how to listen to one another and play in sync.

  • Real-World Repertoire: Utilizes familiar rock, pop, and alternative songs that students are excited to play, accelerating engagement and practical skill-building.

  • Instrument Versatility: Encourages students on guitar, bass, drums, keyboards (other instrumentalists also welcome), and vocals to build foundational chops and experiment with different roles.

Core Curriculum & Skills

  • Performance Techniques: Teaches essential stage presence, timing and rhythm.

  • Audio & Gear Basics: Introduces fundamental sound engineering, amplifier settings, microphone usage, and basic stage setup.

  • Transferable Life Skills: Fosters team communication, active problem-solving, confidence, and leadership through group collaboration.
