How the band comes together

From first chord to a real band

  1. I

    Try every instrument

    Guitar, bass, keyboard, drums and vocals. Everyone gets a turn before choosing.

  2. II

    Choose a part

    Each student picks the instrument they want to play in the band.

  3. III

    Learn songs as a band

    Students learn their part, then put it together: counting in, keeping time and listening to each other.

  4. IV

    Track the skills

    The Music Passport follows six areas of progress, so families can see what each student has learned.
