ROCK BAND CLASS IS HERE !!!

Ever want to be in your very own Rock Band own band with students your age?  Ready to take your lessons to the next level of fun, excitement and motivation?  Do you really enjoy playing the piano, but would like to also try guitar, bass, drums, or singing?  Rock Band classes are now starting!  Rock Band is a 40 minute small group class that meets once a week to rehearse and learn nothing but your favorite Rock, Pop, Jazz, R&B, Praise & Worship, Dance songs, and more! The students get to name the band, choose the songs, do performances around town, and get real world experience—the sky is the limit!  The only requirement is that the student also attend their normal lesson during the week to continue their general technical, reading and music skills (the Rock Band class is only for rehearsing the songs as a group. Individual parts are learned at the regular lesson).       

*For a limited time, join the Rock Band Class for only $70 a month!
For info or to sign up, call or text Mr. McAnelly at (210)268-8373
