Rock Band teaches students to perform the music they know and love, and to compose and improvise in a collaborative setting. Styles that are studied include Rock, Pop, Reggae, Hip Hop, Rhythm & Blues, Indie, and other contemporary styles as they emerge. The course will foster peer-to-peer development in the band setting, while encouraging the band to perform cohesively as a single unit. Students in Rock Band will also be introduced to the art of songwriting, both individually and collaboratively. In this course, students will rehearse twice a week as a band. Students must practice their individual part on their own time. Students will gain experience in performing by playing an in-class recital and three Rock Band concerts through the school year. This is not a beginner class. Students must be proficient at any of the following instruments: electric guitar, electric bass, keyboards, drums, and /or vocals.
