Join a Band!
LiveJam is a opportunity for talented students who want an immersive
performance experience. You'll work in a hands-on inspiring environment learning real performance
techniques and the complexities of being in a band. Focus is on collaboration, fun and getting your band ready for a live concert performance.
The Program
BAND MEMBERS: vocalists, a drummer, a bassist,
a guitarist and a pianist.
Instrumentalists:
You will meet every two weeks for two hours. A professional guitarist
and drummer will expertly coach you in the art of playing in a rock-solid rhythm section!
Vocalists:
You will meet on the opposite weeks for two hours. You'll
develop live performance techniques and learn all the elements of singing with a band.
After three sessions of training, instrumentalists and vocalists will come together for three
sessions of band rehearsals. Then your band gets an opportunity to perform live for family and
friends.
Since there is a limited and
competitive enrollment,
it is essential that accepted participants be
dedicated to the program. There will be high expectations for you to learn the material and
practice regularly at
home. This is what a
professional musician does in his or her band(s). |
