RockOn Young Musicians Workshop

July 15 -26, 2013  at Berkshire Community College, Pittsfield, MA

July 29 – Aug 2, 2013  at Russell Sage College, Troy, NY (1 week only)

The Rock On Summer Music workshop in the Berkshires is designed for young players of ALL levels – whether they are at beginner, intermediate or advanced skill levels. All levels participate fully in the Rock On experience. Register for  1 week or 2!

For students who are at the beginner level, or who have less than a year of training, we offer a program that will increase their musical knowledge as well as their playing and performance skills.

A typical day at Rock On includes workshops, instrument training, guest master classes, daily ensemble rehearsals and repertoire class. And it’s a LOT of fun!

The repertoire class will consist of pre-selected music that will prepare students to perform together with interns and instructors at the Rock On Concerts are held each Friday during the workshop.

The beginner students take part in all scheduled activities and workshops, including meeting with guest instructors and performers.

Students work together as a team in rehearsals and classes to learn to help create musical friendships and promote a feeling of community and belonging, and to develop a musical-social network. Part of the lesson plan will be learning the fundamental skills of their respective instruments as well as basic performance and stage management skills.

All instruments are welcome in the workshop-guitar, bass, drums & keyboards to cello, vocals, horns and more. Instrument classes will run approximately one hour.

Rock On Young Musicians Workshop runs from 11:30am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday each week it is offered.

Students may bring their own lunches or eat in the cafeteria during lunch break.
