rock band

For students who have a sound grasp of guitar fundamentals.

Have you ever dreamed of being in a band — playing alongside friends, feeling the rhythm come alive, and performing on stage under the lights? Our Rock Band group is where those dreams take shape.

Designed for students who have already built a strong foundation on guitar, this program takes the next step: turning individual skills into teamwork, creativity, and live performance magic.

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ - We’ve currently had our child attending group lessons for 2 terms, and he’s a Little Rock star- in the making. Dave’s relaxed personality and extensive knowledge of teaching certainly reflects in our son’s results. We would definitely recommend Forbes Guitar Academy”

what students Experience

🎵 Try Different Instruments

Step out of your comfort zone! Whether it’s bass, drums, keyboard, or even vocals, you’ll get a chance to experiment with different roles in the band.

🥁 Build a Rock-Solid Sense of Rhythm

There’s no better way to sharpen your timing and musical instincts than by playing with others. You’ll learn how to lock in with the drummer, follow basslines, and let your guitar shine in harmony with the band.

🎤 Develop Performance Skills

From stage presence to handling live sound, you’ll gain the confidence and know-how to deliver an unforgettable performance.

🤘 Experience the Fun of Playing Live

Nothing compares to the rush of performing on stage. You’ll prepare, rehearse, and then showcase your band’s hard work in front of an audience.
