Are you ready to ROCK? Throughout the week students will learn and rehearse a short set of songs to be performed at the end of the week. With the help of their instructor, students will improve their skills on their instruments, as well as learn how to play and jam with other musicians.
At the end of the week, they will take the stage to perform a short concert for parents and invited guests. Note: Vocalists and players of all instruments are welcome. Players are encouraged to bring their own instruments. If impossible, an instrument may be sourced for them. Please contact the Chester Playhouse to discuss your needs.
