SUMMARY:Build A Band - Holiday Club (Morning)
DESCRIPTION:🎵 BUILD A BAND – 3 DAY HOLIDAY WORKSHOP 🎵\nFebruary Half Term – 17\,18\,19 Feb\nAges 11-18 | 3-Day Workshop | Choose either Morning or Afternoon courses\nMorning cohort : 10am-1pm Afternoon cohort : 1:30pm-4:30p\nBOOK HERE\nFrom Bedroom Musician to Band Member in Just 3 Days\nBoard of playing alone? Meet Your Future Bandmates!\n \nYou can play your instrument. You’ve learned some songs. You practice in your bedroom. But have you ever played in an actual band?\nThis is your chance to meet other young musicians\, form a band\, learn a song together\, and perform it live—all in just three days. \nWhat Happens Over the 3 Days? \n🤝 DAY 1: Meet Your Band (Tuesday) \nFIRST: Get to know everyone through icebreakers and a casual jam session. We’ll figure out who plays what and at what level\, then split into bands\, duos\, or trios based on your skills and musical tastes. \nTHEN: Your band chooses a song YOU want to learn (within your genre—rock\, pop\, indie\, whatever your groove is). Start working on it together and getting the basics down. \nThis is where the magic starts—strangers become bandmates. \n🎸 DAY 2: Make It Sound Good (Wednesday) \nPRACTICE\, practice\, practice. Get your song tight and performance-ready with guidance and support throughout the day. You’ll work on: \n\nPlaying together as a unit\nTiming and dynamics\nBand communication\nMaking it sound polished\n\nIf your band nails the song early? Great—choose another one and keep the momentum going! \n🌟 DAY 3: Show Time (Thursday) \nFIRST: Final rehearsal to polish your performance. \nTHEN: Sound check\, stage setup\, then it’s time to perform your song(s) to parents\, friends\, and family. Show them what you’ve accomplished in just three days. \nFrom “nice to meet you” to “playing live together” in three fun sessions. \nIs This For Me? \n✓ Perfect If You: \n\nCan already play your instrument at a basic level\nHave your own instrument (and amp if needed) – Talk to use if you need an instrument to take part\, we will see if we can help.\nPractice at home but have never been in a band\nWant to meet other young musicians your age\nAre aged 11-18\nAre ready to commit to all 3 half days\n\n✓ What Parents Should Know: \n\nStructured\, supervised workshop with experienced guidance\nTeaches collaboration\, commitment\, and confidence\nSafe environment for teens to develop social and musical skills\nAffordable at just £15 per session (£45 for 3 half days)\nCulminates in a real performance opportunity\nShort break factored in midway through the session\, bring a snack and water bottle. \n\nWhat You’ll Need to Bring \n🎸 Your own instrument\n🔌 Your amp (if you play electric guitar/bass)\n🎒 A snack and drinks bottle\, we have a top-up water station\n💪 Enthusiasm and commitment for all 3 sessions \nIt’s best if you bring your own gear\, which you will use at your own risk. For drummers we have one drum kit available per session! \nThe Details\nWhen: Tuesday 17th – Thursday 19th\nTime: Either: 10am – 1pm or 1.30pm – 4.30pm daily (Please note\, you cannot mix morning and afternoon sessions!)\nWho: Ages 11-18 who can already play their instrument\, or would like to sing\nCost: £15 per session | £45 for the course\nWhere: The Basement \nFREE SPACES AVAILABLE for young people in TR12 and TR13 postcodes! \nBefore You Sign Up \nWe’ll send you a quick Google Form to help us put the right musicians together: \n\nWhat instrument do you play?\nCan you bring your own instrument and amp?\nWhat genre of music is your groove?\nHow old are you?\nWould you prefer morning or afternoon sessions\, or are you happy to attend either\n\nThis helps us create balanced bands with compatible musical tastes. \nReady to Build Your Band? \nStop playing solo.
