Band Programs for All Ages
Whether you're an adult rekindling your love for music or a kid with dreams of rocking out on stage, Big Music’s Band Program is your chance to make it happen! Join a band, connect with fellow musicians, and experience the thrill of live performance.
​
For adults, our Band Program offers 2 hours each week of pure fun and escape from the daily grind. You’ll be placed in a band tailored to your style, and your setlist will be curated around a show theme. Coached by professional musicians with years of live experience, you’ll receive expert guidance on stagecraft, band dynamics, and more. Just learn your songs at home, take advantage of optional private lessons, and get ready to rehearse each week. In the final weeks, you'll hit the venue stage to prepare for an unforgettable performance for family and friends.
​
For kids and teens, our Junior and Teen Band Programs are designed to develop young musicians into fully-fledged rock stars. Over 15 weeks, you’ll rehearse with a group of passionate young musicians, working together to perfect your songs for a final performance on our professional stage. Along the way, you’ll be coached by top musicians and, from time to time, guest mentors from some of Australia’s leading bands.
​
The most talented and committed kids are offered the opportunity to join our Artist Development programs - the Young Guns and Bandits - where they get to tour, perform on stages with leading artists

Guitarists must be able to play power chords and understand guitar tabs. Bass players and drummers must be able to play through an entire song confidently and understand tempo and rhythm. Keyboard players must be able to play through an entire song using both hands. Singers must be able to learn songs at home and perform them with a band without reading lyrics. That's about it!
