Band Lab
Music · collaboration · creativity
No auditions, no pressure, just making music together. Students explore different instruments, learn the basics of playing in a band, and work with songs they actually enjoy. From finding a groove and learning simple parts to experimenting, jamming, and building a song together, everyone gets a chance to contribute and make the music their own.
Learning objective: By the end of the programme, students will be able to play simple parts within a group, keep time with others, listen and respond musically, and collaborate to create and perform a song together.
