-
All students in our Junior program meet together weekly for approximately 13 weeks. To help our new little rock stars, we practice with backing tracks, to help get through songs. A large focus is on learning to stay on tempo and move through an entire song, while listening to other players, and performing with good stage presence.
At the end of the program, the little rock stars open the performance of our standard Jam Band concert, and perform on a big stage equipped with lights, sound, and fog machines. -
No prior experience needed. We’re equipped to help brand-new players in this program.
We recommend that students have their own instruments, but we have loaners available for students to borrow during the session. All amplifiers and sound equipment provided.
-
For best results, we highly recommend co-enrolling in private lessons with any of our group programs, whether through AMP or with a private teacher elsewhere. Private lessons focus on individual skill development. This group program focuses on group dynamics and performance.
Please note: We have a set minimum number of registered students we will need to make the program feasible. In the event that not enough students register , we will refund any registration fees and cancel the session.
*All stated fees include a service fee for credit/debit card transactions. This fee is waived when tuition is paid via ACH direct bank transfer. See registration page for details.
How the Program Works
The following policies apply to all Jam Bands programs. Program-specific rehearsal schedules, billing calendars, and event dates are listed in each program's registration section below. Please read through these policies carefully before registering. If you have any questions, please contact us and we're always happy to help!
Seasons
Jam Bands is divided into three seasons each year—Fall, Winter, and Spring. Each season includes 12 instructional sessions, a professional recording session, and a culminating public concert. Students may enroll at the beginning of any season.
Season Commitment
Whether a student joins at the beginning of a season or mid-season, enrollment is a commitment through the season's final concert. Each student's participation affects the experience of the entire band, so we generally cannot accommodate withdrawals after a season has begun except in cases of significant or unforeseen circumstances. If an emergency arises, please contact us—we'll work with your family to determine the best solution.
Enrollment
We strongly encourage families to register by each season's published registration deadline. Early registration helps us confirm that a program has enough students to run and allows our staff to thoughtfully build bands, assign coaches, and plan rehearsals before the season begins.
Whenever possible, we also welcome new students during a season. Mid-season enrollment depends on factors such as instrumentation, available openings, and the progress of each band. If you're interested in joining after a season has begun, please contact us—we'll be happy to discuss whether we can accommodate your student.
Enrollment automatically continues from one season to the next, so families do not need to re-register each season. Families who wish to discontinue must submit their withdrawal during the published withdrawal window before the next season begins. Withdrawal deadlines are communicated by email before each season.
Tuition + Billing
Each Jam Bands season costs $540. Rather than collecting the full tuition upfront, we divide the season into 12 instructional sessions at $45 each and bill monthly based on the number of scheduled instructional sessions in each calendar month.
The 12 instructional sessions include weekly rehearsals, one professional recording session, and one dress rehearsal. The culminating concert is an included part of the program and is not billed as a separate session.
The first month's tuition is due at registration. After that, tuition is automatically billed on the 1st of each month for all scheduled instructional sessions in the upcoming month. Because some months include more instructional sessions than others, monthly payments vary. Each program publishes a detailed billing calendar so families know exactly when charges will occur and how much each payment will be.
A valid credit card must be kept on file for automatic billing throughout the program
Attendance
Students are expected to attend all instructional sessions, recording sessions, dress rehearsals, and concerts. Because bands function as teams, consistent attendance is essential to the success of the group. If an absence is unavoidable, please notify AMP as soon as possible so our coaches can plan accordingly.
