 The School The Tarheel School of Rock
is a performance-based rock music program. It is focused on
taking beginner or advanced players and moving them toward a genuine
rock performance and, hopefully, a lifelong love for music and playing
with bands and ensembles. How does the program work?Students
receive 30- minute private lessons on guitar, bass or drums. In
addition, students will rehearse with a band made up of other SOR
students that will move them toward THE SHOW! This program is designed to not
only help young people learn their instrument, but to motivate them,
help them overcome stage fright, and to develop socially. The
SHOW! The
goal of Tarheel SOR is to get the students to perform. At the end
of each segment, a very cool concert (including lighting and a massive
sound system) is held at a real local venue. At that concert,
students perform the material they've prepared during their "semester"
of rehearsal. What's The Cost? Please
call Jon Berrier or Rick McDuffie @ 919-989-1805 for details, or email
