About
Rock Band is a contemporary instrumental ensemble comprised of guitars, bass, drums, pianos, keyboards, and singers. It focuses on theory, ear training, music reading, and chart writing as well as playing aptitude. Students delve into genres such as rock, R&B, hip hop, funk, metal, soul, and blues and may experiment with songwriting. Performance technique and improvisational skills are practiced and applied to the repertoire. Students gain experience through a significant performance schedule throughout the year. Participation in dress rehearsals and performances outside the school day is required. Students must supply their own instruments except for drums and keyboards; amplifiers are provided by the school.
