Band class at DSOPM

Band coaching is provided as part of our Pre-training Trajectory and beyond. We coach existing bands on request, but also for anyone who would like to play in a band under supervision, who is busy making music in an ambitious way or who wants to go to vocational training. In general the bands consist of 2x vocals, 2x guitar, 1x bass, 1x drums and possibly keys.

Three times a year we work in a new composition on studying covers and writing our own material. After each period there will be a performance at the Q-Factory Amsterdam. This is also the ideal way for young children to come into contact with music for the first time. For example, students alternate instruments by song and find out in this way whether they have a passion for playing the guitar or would prefer to become a drummer. Read more about this under the heading “De Bandklas”.

The band coaching lessons last 90 minutes. We work with different qualified teachers and, based on your wishes and level, put the different bands together, whereby we look for a coach who can best guide this band. Your development is tracked on the basis of the A-MACK system and offers a clear view of your progress. There are A-MACK evaluation moments at the beginning of the school year and at the end of each period.
