GIVEAWAY ~ The Marlboro School of Rock Rookies Band Class

February 20, 2015
Click here to enter to win a month of Marlboro School of Rock Rookie Class!

This program welcomes children from 5-7 years old to perform with a coached band! The Rookies program gives the children a rare opportunity as budding new musicians to experiment with instruments at such an early age, all within a fun positive learning environment. 
So how do we go about teaching and getting through to children so young you ask? 

The foundation of this program is built on rhythm. The first order of business is to help these youngsters understand how to jam with structure; so each child will be handed a pair of drumsticks as a standard! We will start by simply playing along with songs and organize a few fun rhythm games! This prepares them for jamming success! 

It allows them to find themselves as musicians ! As these unique musicians start gravitating towards other instruments such as vocals, guitar, bass, and piano,  there will be color coded strings for guitarists and the songs will have an obvious beat to follow. 

This program is great to get children to appreciate the awesomeness of music!! It also teaches them to work well together in a band environment!
