During this class, students with a basic understanding of an instrument who are wanting more experience playing with others at a similar skill level get an opportunity! The idea is to get young musicians to choose music together, learn, and perform as a band. I will be utilizing some of my contacts I have in the Portland music scene to come and help out or run small workshops while we spend time working as a group. I will also bring in some basic recording equipment and software. This will expose students to the recording process and to the business side of music by learning to build their own brand or label. Students will meet three days a week (M,W,Th) for one hour each day. The cost will depend on the general interest in the class and how many students sign up. Please understand that students should be able to practice daily on any material chosen to maintain a positive learning experience for everybody. The more students put into it the more they will get out of it!
