From the first day of class through the end of the semester, our students are making music as a band, learning the basics of playing and performing rock music in a collaborative setting. Our curriculum incorporates various elements of rock composition and performance, with lessons focusing on rhythm, chord progressions, improvisation, instrument technique, songwriting and stage presence.
BUT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE MUSIC.
As individuals, our students become empowered through creative expression, risk-taking and increased self-confidence; as band members, they learn to work creatively and collaboratively with other students in a goal-oriented setting. We see songwriting, live performance and recording sessions as a fun and effective opportunity for fostering both musical and personal growth.
The core values that guide us are CONFIDENCE, COLLABORATION, CREATIVITY and COMMUNITY - the 4 Cs. At PSRS, we believe that our ability to work together in a positive, constructive and creative manner is the only way to a better future.
