Band Together, Grow Together
A Guide To the Sunburst Band Program
If you’re reading this, you might be wondering what the Sunburst Band Program is and if playing in a band is right for you. Regardless of where you are on your journey or how long you’ve played your instrument, we always encourage our students to experiment with playing in a group setting in one way or another. Whether it's meeting up with a friend to play songs together, going to a jam session, or playing in a band, you might surprise yourself with how prepared you are for that experience! We consistently find that students who play in bands or casually jam with their friends outside of their lessons make progress in leaps and bounds. Your sense of time, rhythm, and overall confidence with your instrument will really start to come together once you've had opportunities to put what you've learned into a group context.
You might be wondering—am I ready for this? If you can play through a song without stopping, then yes, you probably are! We even made a guide to clearly layout what you need to know before joining the band, and what you can expect to learn along the way. Check out the benchmarks for each instrument below and don't forget to talk with your teacher about the program as well. We're here to support you!
