A course for people who would like to play in a band with others but lack the rehearsal space or the setting to do so. Whether you have played in bands before or simply play an instrument and would like people to play with, you are welcome.
The group forms a band based on each participant's preferences, with the aim of rehearsing together. Togetherness and ensemble playing are at the heart of it, and so is each person's own development. The tutor, a professional musician trained in ensemble playing, will help the group play together as a band, communicate within the band, arrange songs, learn music by ear, read sheet music, and improvise creatively. The repertoire is decided together, and the tutor also suggests tunes. Teaching is adapted to each participant's level and interests.
