Overview:

RBA Band Management Courses are built for existing bands.  The Program can also help experienced musicians find other experienced musicians to form a band with.  Each band decides their own goals, from writing original material and recording a demo to finding local gigs.  Instructors tailor lessons based on the band’s goals.  The start and end dates depend on each band’s desires.  Think of RBA Band Management Courses as instrument lessons for the entire band.

Prerequisites:

For the RBA Band Management Course, students must have the basic elements of a band, which includes, but is not limited to, one guitarist, one bassist, and one drummer.  Backstage Guitars can assist a band in finding additional members if necessary.  Please e-mail Carey or contact the store for more information about finding additional band members.

Cost:

Tuition for the RBA Band Management Course is $100.00 per hour for the entire band.  Students must log a minimum of 4 hours of in-store lessons over a 4-week period.  Based on band goals, instructors may require additional hours.  A contract will be written up to determine the total cost per student for the amount of time desired with an instructor.  Tuition is due at the time of registration and can only be paid for by a cash, money order, personal check, or Backstage Guitars-accepted credit cards.  Please be aware that once the contract is signed and registration is paid for, the tuition fee is nonrefundable.

Scheduling:

RBA Band Management Courses are scheduled with flexibility in mind.  They are dependent upon band member, lesson space, and instructor availability.  In most cases a scheduled day and time each week can be chosen for hourly lessons.  If a 2-hour block every 2 weeks works out better, that can also be managed.  With Band Management there is no start or end date beyond what is written up in the contract.
