Do you love music, play an instrument and want to play with other musicians? Do you like to play rock music? If so, this class offers you the opportunity to play in a modern band setting and learn about various styles of modern music. Rock Workshop explores the musical roots of the sounds you hear in our current musical trends. Thus, the class emphasizes the blues, jazz, Latin and rock as the core styles. This class is open to all instrumentalists and especially students that play drums, bass, guitar and piano. This class also need singers (even if you don't play an instrument)! Students will perform at North's Rock Night!

The Rock Workshop is an awesome chance for students to become rock stars! But seriously, this class provides an opportunity for students to learn about and perform in a rock band and perform at the North Rock Night. The rock program is a relatively new addition to the music department, but has grown significantly in popularity and enthusiasm on the last few years. This class strives to bring about the talent and uniqueness of each student musician as well as develop group playing. This class is really fun! - Mr. Labedz

Rock Studio (71121) (Full Year Course) 10 -12

Rock Studio (7111) (Semester Course) 10 -12 

Rock Studio explores real world applications of producing and promoting a final musical product. Students will use their background from previous ensemble classes, primarily Rock Workshop, to learn songs for the purpose of recording both live as well as in multitrack format. This course will explore aspects of the music industry to include music production and engineering, promotion, branding, and interacting with a fan base.

This is a performance and production based course. Students will be expected to perform their own content for recording and learn the production aspects commonly used in the music industry by indie style artists. Our final goal is to present musical products in an online format and build a fan base for their class project.
