How to Get Involved
in Big Music's Band Program?
1. Seasonal 15-Week Band Programs
Join a coached band in our fully-equipped studios, rehearse a themed set of songs each week, then perform live at an epic end-of-season Gig Night. You’ll be guided by a professional musician and given a tailored setlist designed to help your band sound great on stage. Ideal for players ready to rehearse weekly and perform live with confidence.
$95 per week · 2-hour session · 15 weeks + final gig
2. Jamming Bands
Want to ease into band life without a fixed commitment? Jamming Bands are a relaxed, no-pressure way to get started.
We’ll match you with compatible musicians, then invite you to a coached jam session in our studios. If it clicks, you can keep rehearsing weekly, choose your own songs, and progress at your own pace, with the option to perform at a Band Showcase.
$95 per week · 90-minute session · Pay only when you attend · Optional gig opportunities
