ROCK SKOOL with JARED - Jared Doherty
Lesson Registration Brochure Dates: 2026-03-16 to 2026-02-20Cost: $275
Rock Skool is a program designed for students who are ready to expand their musical skills beyond private lessons and gain experience playing in a band setting.
This group program brings together students currently enrolled in private lessons at our studio who have 1–2 years of experience on their instrument and are ready for a collaborative musical challenge.
What students will learn:
• How to rehearse and communicate in a band setting
• Listening skills, timing, and groove
• Song structure and arrangement
• Stage presence and confidence
• How their individual part fits into the “big picture” of a band.
Students will work together with Jared to learn and rehearse popular rock and pop songs. The focus is on teamwork, musicianship, and having a blast making music with others.
This is a fantastic opportunity for students who are curious about band life, want to build confidence, and are ready for a fun musical challenge during Spring Break.
Spaces will be limited to keep the experience focused and supportive.
COST: $275
DATE: Mon Mar 16 to Fri Mar 20
TIME: 11am to 2pm
