Come for Private Lessons, Stay for Band!
We believe that another great way to learn music is with our one-of-a-kind band classes. Each group band lesson is tailored more carefully to the individual AND group needs of students enrolled. We take into account age, experience, personality, and learning style. We start all students in our private lesson program to assess each student's relative musical ability. Whether you take our private guitar lessons, voice lessons, piano lessons, bass lessons, drum lessons, violin lessons, saxophone lessons, ukulele lessons, or a combination...there is a place in our Littleton music school band program just for you. Also... Littleton Parents love it. Parents in our school love to see their kids grow and mature with other kids in music. What's more, many students love this program as it offers a much more playing time, a chance to make new friends, and to play several BIG shows a year. It's never "too late" to play in a band! Band age starts around 11 years old on through retirement. Busy parents understand there are many options for after-school activities. They tend to love that in our band program they know their child is getting plenty of fun time combined with wholesome, real learning through music there is to find. Also, kids love the... Group Attention Students in band lessons are able to learn the type of music they personally are most interested in, as well as learn to expand their taste in new music. Our teachers focus 100% of their attention on the goals of each band. For over a decade Littleton Music School has been perfecting these goals. They range from learning to play cover songs to learning to write songs and so much more. If a student has a particular difficulty in one area, the band teacher can help correct it in a group setting or, if a student is also enrolled in Littleton private lessons, the teachers in our school work together so every student gets the best private AND group attention. NOT ALL BANDS ARE "Rock Bands." Our school is equipped to offer band lessons for students of most any age and ability, from beginners to very advanced students. We offer every a large variety of styles from rock to pop and acoustic music as well. |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT WILL I LEARN? Our teachers understand that every student is an individual, with personal musical needs and goals. We make it a priority to tailor how we teach and what we teach to your individual needs, even within a band setting. Our staff undergoes extensive training to remain in tune with the progress of each band as well as each individual. Some people are ready for lessons within a month of enrolling in private lessons. Other students take months or years. And yes, some students are very happy remaining enrolled in private lessons only. We are here for you. If you enroll here for lessons, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child. Together, you will develop a plan to achieve your goals! We love beginners, so even if you don't know where to begin, we can help! |

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE IN THE ROCK BAND PROGRAM?
Students are placed in an existing band where his or her instrument is needed, or placed in a "nucleus" or "new band" with other students excited to begin a band. Each teacher is a "band coach" and spends 1.5 hours a week motivating and training each band. Every band learns to develop their own set list, band name, goals, and more. Every band plays in our showcases every 2 or 3 months. These shows are REAL concerts at REAL music venues in Littleton, Denver, and throughout Colorado.
WHAT DOES EACH SHOWCASE ENTAIL?
Every band gets a chance to shine on stage! Our showcases may feature a theme like "The Beatles" or "80s rock." During a theme show, our bands play songs they picked or wrote as well as songs that are within the "theme" of the show. Other shows we play do not have a theme. We also do regular recitals for younger students in piano lessons as well as open mic nights for students in our acoustic lesson program who want to perform but not in a band setting.
Every show is in front of a large, supportive audience of friends and family. Each student will sell tickets and learn aspects of live performance, gaining confidence and even more out of the lesson experience. Every show is at a local venue on a live stage with a sound engineer that helps make every student shine! It's a great chance to see the progress of your student or other friends in our program as well as take photos that will capture great memories!
I DON’T HAVE ANY MUSICAL BACKGROUND OR ABILITY. CAN I JOIN THE ROCK BAND PROGRAM ANYWAY?
Every student that enrolls in our school must first enroll in private lessons. That way we can spend 100% of our focus on that student. If a student displays ability or desire to be in our band program, we notify each family individually. Some students choose to remain in private lessons while others love the idea and enjoy the increased weekly involvement and commitment. It doesn't take long however to gain the basic skills needed to join a band in our program. Many students have been in our band program for several years, having played dozens of shows and learned to play with many other musicians along the way.
