Come to WAAPA’s world-class new facilities and take a deep-dive into band playing with our fantastic staff. You’ll learn about playing tunes, improvising, creative rearrangements, home recording, and more – and there’s plenty of time for jamming and a killer final concert! The course is most suitable for vocals, guitarists, bassists, pianists/keyboardists, drummers, and percussionists, but are all are welcome if you are interested in popular music (we’ve had brass, woodwinds, and strings before!) We also strongly encourage multi-instrumentalists to get involved in lots of different ways.
