Description

Have you ever wanted to know what it's like to be in a band without a huge commitment of time, money, or drama? This is your chance! Bandmakers is a class where participants form bands and work for 10 weeks to play a show (online or live, as the rules allow). During that time, each band does everything you need to do a show: selecting songs, building arrangements, choosing a name, even working on costuming and stage presentation. Each band is assigned a mentor--an experienced musician who helps take notes during rehearsals, answers musical questions, and provides a more-or-less objective ear when the band isn't sure how well a song is working. Fall term begins October 6th. Visit bandmakers (dot) org for more information and to sign up. Spaces are going fast!
