Sonic Futures: Pop-Rock Modern Band Summer Session
Are you ready to play music that matters and is relevant to you? In this week-long intensive we’ll choose the songs we want to play and learn how to effectively rehearse while building music skills.
This intermediate level pop-rock band is open to youth musicians entering grades 8-12 with at least two school years of experience on their instrument. Musicians will work closely with Brian Boyes to identify and select songs as well as learn how to write their own songs.
Special attention will be given to building musical skills that support improvising and performing with stylistic accuracy. Musicians will learn how to lead themselves in a productive and collaborative rehearsal to develop covers and create their own songs.
The intensive will give participants a foundation to start their own band, prepare for the fall Sonic Futures Battle of the Bands and begin preparing for Vermont’s All State Honors Modern Band audition.
The week will culminate in a final performance.
