“My first time playing with a band”
“I had a blast and got to know some great people. I thought our instructor Syd did a terrific job showing us how to become a cohesive group that played together rather than just at the same time. I also learned to listen and interact with the other musicians.”
— Chad N.
“This was the best thing I’ve ever done!!!”
It was great to learn to work with other musicians. I injured my finger and couldn’t play guitar in the third week. Our instructor taught me to play my parts on keyboard or with a thumb pick. They also taught me to sing and instilled the confidence to sing two songs at the live performance. It was an amazing experience to have the crowd really get into our music!!”
— Gene S.
