What instruments will my Skunker learn about?
Our focus is on giving elementary students a multi-media, team-building experience through the context of a rock band. Skunkers explore playing a drum set, electric and acoustic guitars, electric bass guitar, keyboards, marimba, drum machines, ukulele, piano, microphones and effects machines. We work on singing, note reading, improvisation, music listening, music history, music technology and expressing ourselves through songwriting. You can see our week by week lesson plans HERE.
Can we bring our own instrument?
Absolutely but not required.
Does my Skunker need any prior musical experience?
No! Come as you are.
