What is the best age to start BandCore?

The best age to start the BandCore Live Performance Program is between 10 to 14 years old. At this age, kids typically have a stronger grasp of basic musical skills and can better understand and apply more advanced techniques. This age range also allows them to engage more deeply with group dynamics and performance aspects, building teamwork and stage presence. Starting at this age provides a solid foundation, allowing young musicians to grow and excel in their live performance journey. Look at BandCore as your springboard into your very own band. This is the perfect opportunity to make friends with your future bandmates before committing to them in a more serious project.

We have also provided a checklist available on this page outlining the important skills you should work on with your instructor to help prepare you for this elevated live performance program.

Do I need to own an instrument?

You should definitely have your own instrument. Performing live is an exciting opportunity and owning your own tool for the trade is highly recommended

Where will we perform live at?

Our BandCore program is designed for musicians who typically have gone through our JamCore program and now have a solid understanding of what's involved with performing on stage. While this group is a bit more structured and serious it still is a class so making mistakes and figuring things out still applies. Musicians in this program can expect to headline a higher profile concert, venue or event where the stage is bigger and the crowd screams louder.

Will I out-grow BandCore and what's next?

We have designed our live performance offerings in stages so you can grow and advance at your pace. JamCore is the first stage of 3. After you have performed live a couple times in the JamCore program, we highly recommend that you make the leap into our BandCore program which is designed for intermediate to advanced musicians. This is where it all starts to come together. Bigger shows, harder songs, better musicians...you get it!

The final stage of our live performance program is Rockstar Pro. This ongoing class is designed for musicians who have found their band soul mates. This is the only class of it's kind. We treat music like a sport and give you a coach to help make your band the best on the scene. Perfect things like your set list, flow, dynamics, business, original music, demos and everything else you must know to be an independent performing act. We got you!!!!
