FAQs

Can I sign up for more than one week?

Sure, all rockers are welcome to take multiple weeks. Sign up for a second week on your primary instrument, or try a different one!

What age to I have to be to sign up?
Rockers from 7-17 are accepted. If you have an advanced 6 year old, let us know and we can see if there is a place for him or her.

What level do I have to be to sign up?
All levels are welcome, even beginners. When you register, be sure to inquire about what skills you need so you can start working on them.

What is the day like?
Imagine you are in a band. You will meet with your band, collaborate with your band, write tunes, rehearse and have band meetings with a really skilled coach. Each day all the bands will have the opportunity to perform for the group.

What is the extended day for Rockers Program?
Sometimes rockers want to put in a little more time working on their music. For those students who wish to put in a longer day, they can sign up for our extended day program which runs until 3pm each day. Students who are staying will bring a bag lunch and then spend the afternoon learning cover songs and working on solos and duos for the show.
This also helps parents who need to have their kids enrolled in a longer day.


What kind of equipment do I need?
Real rockers always have their own gear so in order to feel like a real rocker you will need your own instrument, amp and cables. Singers will need their own mics, cables and amps. For a complete list of all equipment, please check with the office. We can supply you with suggestions on where to buy what you need at  reasonable prices or where to rent equipment.

Can I sign up with friends?
Sure. Request to be in a band with your friends or sign up with your own band and get that extra help that you need to move forward on your own.

Do rockers bring food to the workshop?
Rockers should bring a snack and if they are enrolled in the extended day, they should bring a bag lunch.

What is the gig like?
Imagine a huge concert, then imgaine yourself playing in it. Students are encouraged to invite as many people as they want.

How do I sign up?
Co
ntact us for your registration form and mail it in with payment. We like to talk with our rockers either on the phone or in person so we can determine placement.  We accept checks or Mastercard and Visa and will begin taking registration for Summer 2011in Januarly 2011. We will accept rockers on a first come first served basis.
