Class Description
Rock 101 is a professionally-instructed
rock band performance program, which takes place in Music
Training Center's in-school theaters.
Kids ages 9-17 are taught to perform together in a rock band
that exhibits the individual and collective talents of each
student.
The students choose a set list of 6 to 10 songs, and rehearse
under professional direction, once each week, for a 10-week
term.
At the end of the term, the students perform two concerts
- First, a full-length concert of the full set list in Music
Training Center's theater, then a 1-song performance at WXPN
World Cafe Live as part of an all-day lineup featuring 16
bands plus the Rock 101 All-Stars. The final concert
is a tremendous experience for the kids to see other kids
perform.
Instrumentation
Each class is limited to a maximum of 3
guitarists, 1 bassist, 1 keyboardist, 1 lead singer, 1
saxophonist, and 2 drummers.
A second lead singer may be added by
mutual consent of both singers. Any other band members
may sing backup vocals.
The stage has two full drum kits.
When 2 student drummers are enrolled, the drum coach may
rotate alternately with each student drummer during
rehearsals, so the student drummers will play at some times
and observe the drum coach at other times. Both
student drummers perform in the entire show along with the
drum coach (if needed) who plays on a 3rd drum kit.
Rock 101 All-Stars
The most advanced students from each school
will be offered spots in the All-Star band. This band
will have 5 separate rehearsals during the term at no additional
cost, and will have extra performance slots at the final concert
at World Cafe Live.
Instructors
