Music Community For Adults
The Band Project Is a music community for adults who play an instrument but have never quite taken to the stage. Open to all instruments, It's a friendly space to learn, jam, & perform together. Think rock choir for musicians. We run weekly sessions across the UK to help develop your music ability within a band setting, with the aim of performing to a professional level.
About The Band Project
For those about to rock!
Any professional musician will tell you that performing gives the greatest buzz ever. So, here at "The Band Project" we are committed to providing a platform for all (not just the pro's) to experience being part of a band, playing with like-minded people and being part of a performance culture.
We support, encourage and mentor adults who are passionate about music. Our experienced team works to ensure each session is fun, engaging and full of musical opportunities. Why should kids only have the musical fun!!
Band Sessions
Mic up, crank the amps and get ready to play!
All sessions take place during an evening on a weekly basis and over a 10-week term (3 terms a year). Each session lasts up to two hours with a maximum of 12 people. Payment is spread out over the year and broken down to a set monthly fee. This saves you from having to pay a full-term fees up front. Each session is approximately £22, which covers a band mentor/tutor, music and venue costs. However, if you find the sessions are not for you, then we only ask for a month's notice period. BUT, we think you will love it!
Typical session:
-
Warm-up jam

Plan for the next session
Songs:
We cover some absolute classics, from the world of Rock, Blues, Funk, pop and more. We provide all the music which will be available to download from your account. You don't need to be able to read music, as they are in easy-to-follow PDF versions, so you can practice your parts at home in preparation for each session. This isn't homework... It's fun work!!
Expectation:
As we work through the term, the goal is to either work towards a performance of all the songs rehearsed, or a tight recording of some of the material. There will be plenty of opportunities to perform live in your local area, so the more confident you get, the more songs you will achieve. There is no end goal, as once you get the live performance bug, you won't stop there!
Mission
Committed to Music Empowerment
The Band Project places a high priority on musical well-being and enrichment. We know for many that music is an outlet in life. For some, it's a hobby, for others it's a potential career change. But whatever your reasons for picking up your instrument, you will be in great company.
All we ask is that you come prepared to get stuck in!
Community of Musicians
Participants at The Band Project experience a supportive and inclusive community, where they receive the attention and encouragement they need to flourish as musicians. Building strong connections within the community music scene is a key focus to promote creativity and well-being. We also make sure that our performances are available to the local community. We love to get stuck in to a community project where we are given the chance to showcase the talents of our band project members.
Professional Mentors and teachers
The experienced music tutors at The Band Project deliver high-quality guidance and support. They are dedicated to ensuring the best possible outcomes through expertise and unwavering commitment to music development. They will show you all you need to know about working towards a professional level as a gigging musician. Many of our teachers are top players and performers in their own right. They have the experience of working at the highest level in the music industry, from touring, session playing, producing and song-writing. Our teachers will help guide you to become a more rounded musician.
Live Performances
The Band Project believes in providing performance opportunities for all. Our goal is to empower every participant to showcase their talent through a band environment. There is no better feeling than playing live in front of an audience with musicians who work together to help each other. It really is a band of brothers and sisters.
