JOIN A ROCK BAND

THIS IS WHERE EVERYTHING CHANGES

LEARNING MUSIC DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LONELY. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BORING.

For too long, learning music has been something kids have had to do as a solo pursuit in small practice rooms with a predictable repertoire. Not anymore. Joining a rock band changes everything.

Our Jr. Rock Band program is designed to give your 8-11 year-old their first experience playing in a rock band. Our Rock Band program will give your 10+ year old a whole new experience with music!

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO 'JOIN A ROCK BAND'?

Joining a rock band means we will match your child with other musicians who are close to their age and skill-level and, together, they will form a rock band. As a band, they'll meet once a week for a jam session which will be led by a Backbeat teacher who will focus and guide their learning.

SHOULD I CHOOSE JR. ROCK BAND OR ROCK BAND?

It depends on the age of your child. If your child is 8 or 9 years old, they're perfect for Jr. Rock Band. If your child is 10 or 11 years old, they can choose between Jr. Rock Band or Rock Band (Rock Band is a better fit for students who have more experience on their instrument and are ready for an extra challenge). If your child is 11+, Rock Band is the choice for them!

"Even before the first lesson, Backbeat took the time to get to know our kids before throwing them into a class or with a teacher who wasn't a good match. We've been really happy!"
