Take your musical skills to the next level by learning what it’s like to be part of a real rock band! Designed for students in Grades 8–9 who already have experience playing a primary instrument, this program focuses on developing the skills needed to collaborate, rehearse, and perform as part of an ensemble.

Throughout the program, students will learn how to communicate musically with bandmates, build arrangements, develop stage confidence, and explore the creative process behind putting together a live set.

The program concludes with a live performance where students can showcase their hard work, teamwork, and growth as young musicians. Experience with music and a primary instrument is required. Please email lessons@redbirdlive.ca to register.

For many, Rock ‘n Roll looks like a lot of fun, but not entirely inclusive. We get it. If this sounds like you, and you’re ready to rock, join our Girls & Beyond Rock Band program. In this program, students will learn the basics of musicianship and blending instruments in a rock band setting. Bandmates will collaborate with one another, arrange songs, gain confidence with their stage presence and learn what it means to be in a band.

Each participant will take on multiple roles in the band, and will not necessarily spend all their time on their primary instrument. The program will culminate in a performance at the end of the semester for family and friends. All instrumentalists are welcome, but space is limited. Experience with music and a primary instrument is required. Please email lessons@redbirdlive.ca to register.
