Big Music School & Studios
Band Programs for All Ages
Find Your People. Play Your Music. Perform Live.
Whether you’re a kid dreaming of the stage, a teen ready to take your music further, or an adult rediscovering your passion, Big Music’s Band Program is your chance to make it happen.
How It Works
Get to Know Us
Every participant — young or old — starts by completing a Band Mate Matching Quiz.
This helps us match you (or your child) with the right band based on experience, availability, and musical style.
-
Kids & Teens join a 15-week structured program, rehearsing weekly and performing live at the end of term.
-
Adults can choose a structured 8- or 15-week program, or start more casually with our Jamming Band option.
All bands are coached by professional musicians and rehearse weekly at Big Music’s Crows Nest studios — building confidence, skills, and the joy of making music together.
-
A band matched to your level, age, and interests
-
Weekly 2-hour rehearsals in our Crows Nest studios
-
Coaching from professional gigging musicians
-
All gear provided (just BYO guitar, drumsticks)
-
A fully produced live show with family and friends in the audience
Whether you're a first-time jammer or a seasoned player, this is your chance to build skills, connect with others, and experience the thrill of live performance.

“... the 15 week program led by Gene was terrific. Gene pushed us when needed but kept it fun and collaborate all the way. The finale went off. We had a great night going on stage first and then we finished it off with the Band Aid Xmas song with both bands on stage. Fantastic. Was a blast."

" I can’t thank Gene (and all the coaches at Big Music) enough for their patience... I always feel supported and encouraged rather than rushed. Overall, I can’t fault a single aspect of this experience. Practicing at Big Music is the highlight of my week and I look forward to many more gigs like this!"

“I just wanted to thank you for an amazing band program... I’ve just finished my 9th rock show and, as usual, I had a ball and improved my skills and confidence. It was so great to see the Big Music community also come along to both shows on the weekend to support each other. Many people attended both nights because it’s a fun night out.”
