How will the Academy be structured?

Each day at the Academy is divided into four sessions that run from 9:30 AM - 5:00 PM. On Monday and Tuesday mornings, you’ll be treated to instructor jams, and on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, instrument instruction. An elective session follows that includes a daily vocal class and song session groups to work on ensemble material, with coaching by instructor teams. After a lunch break, you will have another instrument instruction session followed by an elective session (10-12 electives) to end your day. Some examples of elective topics are songwriting, harmony vocals, music theory, and specific instrument styles and topics. After a dinner break, there will be evening activities offered including a band scramble, open stage time and campfire jamming.
