Summer workshops
Learning to play in a band!
This summer, the Drums&Co.ch School is offering two one-week workshops to learn how to play in a group:
– Monday June 30 to Friday July 4, from 10am to 5pm
This first workshop will be dedicated to children and teenagers (aged 8 to 13).
– Monday July 28 to Friday August 1, 10am to 5pm
This second workshop will be dedicated to teenagers (aged 14 and over) and adults.
The aim is to play two pieces as a group and record them live at the end of the week.
Instruments include drums, bass, guitar, piano and vocals.
For these two summer courses, we propose the following program:
– An instrument course directly linked to the chosen pieces, which will be played in group,
– A rhythmic solfeggio lesson to help you set up your pieces (breaks, stops, rhythmic patterns, etc.),
– A sub-group lesson to work on and consolidate rhythmic cohesion (bass-drums, guitar-keyboards, vocals-piano, singers-choirs…),
– A group playing lesson with a drummer, a bassist, a guitarist/pianist and a singer, to pool the day’s learning and set up the chosen pieces,
– A recording of the pieces will be made on the last day of the course, with technical explanations by the teacher, and the recording and filming by the trainees.
The schedule for both courses is as follows :
The venue: our School, Drums&Co.ch, 9-11 chemin du 23-août 1205 Geneva (Éco-quartier Jonction)
Number of participants: from 12 to 16 people divided into 4 groups (minimum 12 people for the course)
Resources: the School’s classrooms are equipped with the necessary instruments, microphones and recording equipment.
Guitarists and bassists must bring their own instruments (jacks and amps are provided).
Price: CHF 875 for a week’s course
