Want to learn how to play in a band and perform on stage? Sign up for MCMS Fall Band Workshop today. Or attend a free information session on Sunday, October 1, from 2:00 to 3:00 pm.

Who Can Join?
If you are between the ages of 8 and 18 and can sing or play an instrument of any kind, you are welcome. You do not need to be currently enrolled as a private student at MCMS.

How Does It Work?
You attend five ninety-minute Band Workshops in October and November where MCMS faculty members teach you how to sing and play with others and help you rehearse your songs. In December, your band takes the stage at the MCMS Fall Recital and you perform for a live audience.

What Kind of Music Will You Play?
Your band will pick two or three songs from a list of pop, rock, country, and singer/songwriter styles. Some of the songs were huge hits, while others may be less well known. All are chosen to help you get the most from your band experience.

Who Are the Teachers?
Guitarist Joe Marquez, violist/violinist Tara Flandreau, bassist Tommy O’Mahony, and drummer Sean Nelson. They will coach and accompany each band as needed.

How Much Does It Cost?
Band Workshop costs $150 per participant, payable upon registration. Sheet music is provided.

When Does It Meet?
Sundays from 2:00 to 3:30 pm on 10/15, 10/29, 11/5, 11/19, and 12/3. The bands perform on Saturday, 12/9, at 2:00 pm.

How Can You Learn More?
Attend a free informational session at Marin Community Music School on Sunday, October 1, from 2:00 to 3:00 pm or ask your teacher for more details. Register for orientation here.
