East Brunswick Academy
Our student rock bands began in 2008. Our bands – for beginner-level through advanced-level students – are instructed and directed with learning objectives, curricular structure and offer students real-world performance opportunities during the school year.
Our bands perform live, on stage, in our annual Winter Concerts and Spring Student Recitals, and in additional performances Music Notes Academy participates in such as Battle of the Bands competitions, music festivals and local community events and performances. Our advanced-level bands also record a demo in a professional recording studio, which has always been included in tuition.
Students are accepted into our bands based upon the student’s age, current level of musical ability and by auditioning with our Director. Designed to be enjoyable for students, practicing songs in between rehearsals/classes is required for all students. Our Rock Band program is a school year commitment for students (and parents).
Auditioning Students for Rock Bands
Students of all musical ability levels can play music in our Rock Bands. Rock Bands meet weekly throughout the school year and perform in concerts, our MAMTG Student Music Festival and select performances in the community.
Rock Guitar Classes & Rock Band Classes
Rock Guitar Class help students get ready for our Rock Bands. Students will learn to play with others in a Rock setting, play lead and rhythm guitar, learn how to use amplifiers, guitar pedals, strumming patterns, chord progressions, basic improvisation and more. Rock Guitar Classes are available during the Summer and School Year.
At our East Brunswick Academy, we offer rock guitar classes for students interested in rock music. These classes are designed to supplement weekly private lessons. There is no substitute for one-on-one private music lessons.
