What is the Rock Band Program at Music Maker Workshops?

The Rock Band Program at Music Maker Workshops gives students (ages 8-17) the exciting opportunity to play in a real band with other musicians. Guided by experienced instructors, students rehearse weekly, develop teamwork and performance skills, and prepare to play live shows at local venues. It’s a fun, collaborative way to grow musically and gain confidence on stage.

What is the Artist Program at Music Maker Workshops?

he Artist Program is designed for teen and adult bands (ages 15+) who are already formed and seeking a dedicated, professional space to rehearse. A studio host is on site to assist with sound equipment, recording setup, and to unlock/lock the space, but rehearsals are self-led with no formal instruction provided. Bands are responsible for selecting their own material and booking their own gigs.
