About this class

Form a band, write a song, and bring the noise. In this high-energy class, you’ll team up with other musicians to write and perform an original track together. Whether you’re on drums, guitar, vocals, or keys, you’ll learn how to collaborate, build a song from scratch, and create a sound that’s uniquely yours as a group. You’ll also explore what it means to shape a band identity—and get hands-on experience with live performance gear and recording demos.

Gear + Software:

  • Instruments (drums, bass, guitar, piano)
  • Microphones
  • Amps
  • PA system
  • Ableton Live

Great for students who want to be in a band, collaborate creatively, and make something loud and original. Some instrument experience is helpful, but you don’t have to be a pro—just ready to jam and try new things.
