Students can learn a variety of music styles including rock and country although Top 40 is very popular here, too while rocking out on guitar, drums, keys, bass, and more. Students have one weekly group rehearsal where they learn to play classic rock songs that have been simplified for beginner musicians.
Our music programs for kids in Marion are designed to get students on stage performing, with the goal of building strong musical proficiency. Additionally, students typically ages 8 to years-old can begin Rock without any prior experience. It consists of a weekly group rehearsal where kids and teens learn by playing rock music's most iconic songs with a band composed of their peers. Students are assigned songs and parts that are tailored to them based on their age, experience and ability to learn new skills and concepts.
Students then work through their parts in weekly private music lessons, refining the skills and concepts that those songs introduce. The goal of this curriculum is to prepare kids and teens for live performances. All of our other music education programs focus on readying students for our famous Performance Program.
This is where students develop incredible musical skills. Performance Program students have often gone through our Rock program first or have some previous basic music experience.
These young musicians will have custom development plans outlined by their instructors with key concepts reinforced during private lessons and group rehearsals, all with the goal of performing live at a Marion music venue. Rookies students have one weekly group music lesson where they learn fundamentals like chords, rhythm and song structure.
