The Experience

During each session, each band practices a set of songs to perform together, usually in a popular music style such as rock, pop, blues, country, funk, or reggae.

Note:  It does not have to be only “rock” songs – we are “rocking” just to have a good time!

Some highlights of each session are:

  • “Ready-made” band group to join
  • Work closely with professional musician-instructors in an intimate setting with your band.
  • Build self-confidence and develop your musicianship and performance skills.
  • Meet like-minded musicians interested in starting a band and playing music.
  • Learn to read charts, play with dynamics, improve your soloing, and rehearse more effectively.
  • Receive a FREE professional recorded download of your performance.
  • Get the real experience of playing in a band!
  • Learn first-hand what it’s really like to be in a live, on-stage gig!

We place students in ensembles based on ability so students improve as musicians.  They can always find new challenges and new and interesting people to play with.

Performance

At the end of the sessions, it’s time to hit the stage!  Each session concludes with a concert at a popular local venue featuring the CMI bands in the session – the number of bands/gigs depends on the number of musicians who sign up for the Rock Session.  The final performance promises a great time, a wonderful experience and a chance to show off for family and friends!

Pre-Requisites:

Students may be asked to audition to confirm the skill level for appropriate band placement.  Call to discuss options if you are interested but are not a current CMI student.

Mandatory advance preparation “homework” will be assigned (start learning songs prior to the beginning of workshops).
