BANDMATES
AGES 8-10

Our Bandmates program is designed to offer young beginner students (ages 8-10) a fun and collaborative introduction to making music in a band context. The curriculum emphasizes foundational musical concepts including rhythm, tempo, pitch, song form and focused listening. In addition to learning a cover song, all Bandmates bands will also compose their very own original song with original lyrics and will learn valuable techniques for performing live on stage in front of an audience.

The social experience of being in a band and learning how to work creatively with others is at the core of the PSRS mission. The Bandmates program focuses not only on music fundamentals, but also on skills for positive collaboration such as teamwork, listening, sharing and taking responsibility in a common goal. These bands will perform in a dedicated event open to family and friends. Bandmates prepares young beginners for entry into the PSRS Performance Program, which culminates in a live show at a major rock venue.
