Throughout the year, Cappella offers an ongoing series of Band & Workshop Sessions, where our young musicians meet each week under the tutelage of our staff and hone their skills as they make music together.  At the end of the sessions, the bands perform at one of our concerts. 

Learning to play together is a very important part of the process of developing into an accomplished musician.  It is about listening as well as playing, staying together in the groove, and shaping a larger performance from a group of smaller parts.

The band  sessions are always increasing in popularity, in part because we offer the most affordable pricing in the area for this kind of ensemble experience.  They are open to all students, whether or not those students take private lessons at Cappella.  For  students who do not take private lessons at Cappella, the participation fee is $140, which covers eight hours of instruction plus the concert.  Private students at Cappella pay a steeply discounted rate.

Our next group of ensembles start the week of Monday, October 28th and culminate with our Saturday, December 21st Holiday Concert at our home stomping grounds,  Saint Philips Church in Oreland.

Here are the details on our next slate of offerings:

Pete McRae leads our Rock Band sessions and brings to them a lifetime of experience as a performer in rock and roll.  With over twenty years of experience as a session musician on albums in Los Angeles and a lengthy pedigree of national and international tours under his belt, Pete knows what it takes to put together a rock and roll performance.  The greatest part is the joy he brings to the entire experience.  The rock band will meet

Thursdays 6:00-7:00 with Pete McRae starting November 7th

Minimum Band Size is three participants and maximum is six.  All instruments and voices are welcome.

One of the greatest joys of singing is that of blending your voice in unison with other singers.  In the Vocal Harmony Group, players and singers will come together to blend harmonies and instrumentation on covers of current Pop hits, classics and maybe even their own compositions.  This is a great opportunity for musicians on all instruments, but particularly for singers, to take a giant step in developing their own musicianship and their ability to work with others in a band setting.  It is also a great chance for students interested in musical theater to develop the vocal skills necessary to work the musical stage!

Mondays 4:30-5:30 with Mary Consoli, starting October 28th

Minimum band size is three participants and maximum is six.  All instruments and voices are welcome.

The cost for the Vocal Harmony ensemble is $140 to families not currently enrolled as private lesson students at Cappella.    There is a very special pricing for actively enrolled Cappella students.  Call for details!
