Details about the workshop
What is it?
Ketan Kulkarni, a musician of 25 years and 25+ bands, will conduct an 8 week 'How to be in a Band' workshop. We are a looking for up and coming artists and musicians, who know how to play their instruments (voices are instruments, too), but have not yet played much with other musicians. This workshop will teach the participants how to listen to others, react to what others are playing and create something greater. The band will learn how to play together... ending with a performance in front of live audience in May of 2025. Ben Lundquist from MontiArts and MHS will also be involved in the facilitation of this workshop.
This workshop is not an audition for a band or for seasoned musicians to jam with others. This workshop is also not meant to teach you your instrument.
Who should apply?
Students ages 15-18 who can either play drums, guitars, keyboards, bass or can sing. The ideal group would be somewhere between 5-7 participants.
How do I apply?
By clicking on the "Apply" button above, the site will take you to a form where you'll add your details along with your parents/legal guardians' details... and upload a short video of you playing an instrument. Yes, an audition. But don't worry, this is just a chance for us to see if you know how to play your instrument and are ready to take the next step!
