After exploring all the instruments involved in the program (guitar, bass, drums, keyboard), each participant will pick an instrument to focus on, learn the instrument, form bands, learn cover songs, write original songs, and play a show at the end of the program.
Full scholarships are offered to all who need them. No one will be turned away for lack of resources. For more information and registration forms, click here.
