About the Classes 

ROCK BAND 101 will strive to teach all aspects of being in a Rock Band;  from practice strategies, rehearsals, setting up and tearing down equipment to more cerebral elements such as commitment, teamwork, and self-confidence. We also cover emotional components of interpersonal band dynamics, leadership skills, and group decision-making.

Rehearsals take place at:

MACH 1 MUSIC
Suite #2 
1678 Ellington Road  
South Windsor, CT.

Performance locations will vary.
