Rock Academy

Having someone tell you what to play is so NOT rock'n'roll.

There are roughly a jillion different rock camps and workshops and jam sessions in metro Atlanta in the summertime. What's different about ours?

The idea behind our Rock Academy is that your adult leader should have a light touch that gives you enough information and assistance to keep you moving forward without hemming you in.

Some workshops go nuts with the extras (fancy 8"X10" photo of your band, light show, etc.). While that can be really exciting, sometimes you want to learn some things that you'll be able to put to use after the workshop - you know, if you want to start your own band without the involvement of any grownups.

So, we won't choose the songs for you. We won't tab everything out for you. We'll do our best to match you up with other players of your age and ability level, and we'll help you make it work with whatever instruments and skills you've got (which is how it works in real life).

Along the way, you'll learn to communicate and collaborate as musicians. The week will end with a concert for your family and friends. Who knows, you might have a brand-new original song to perform...plus friendships and skills that will keep growing after the workshop ends.

This workshop will be offered the weeks of June 18 and July 23, 2012 at 56 17th Street in Ansley Park. Sign up now!

All Eclectic Music workshops are one-week, half-day workshops in which participants (ages five and up) are grouped based on age and experience. Two workshops can be combined to create a full-day workshop. Tuition starts at $160 per workshop and is 10% off until April 1.
