THE BIG PICTURE
Liberty Music Academy's Band Program is an opportunity for young musicians to create music of all genres together for the long haul! Band members will meet for a pre-determined number of weeks consecutively to rehearse and grow together as a cohesive unit, learn how to read & write charts, and take home all the rehearsal etiquette along with performance tips & tricks. After rehearsing with their LMA band mentor, they will have the chance to perform what they've been working on at our Rock Band Showcase hosted by local venues in and around Nashville. Extra gigs will be offered throughout each session depending on how quickly the band is coming together & availability.
THE COMMITMENT
Because the success of our student bands relies so heavily on the long-term commitment of each student, tuition in full is required up front - having even just one student leave mid-session has the potential to halt the progress of every other band member. To participate in one of our bands, you must be able to commit to at least 7 rehearsals along with the Rock Band Showcase.
REQUIREMENTS
Our band program is for intermediate to advanced students ages 18 and below. All band members must be enrolled in private one-on-one lessons while participating in our band program, either at LMA or at another program, and have a letter of recommendation from their teacher. Our band program is open to ALL GENRES. Parents, please understand that band members are expected to practice and prepare their parts BEFORE rehearsal each week during their one-on-one lessons as this is a group music experience requiring diligent practice at home.
