Rock Band Program in North County San Diego

Rock Band Program – Take the Stage with Us!

At Leading Note Studios, our Rock Band Program is all about teamwork, creativity, and the thrill of live performance. Students are grouped into bands and guided by our expert instructors as they learn how to rehearse, perform, lead, solo, write songs, collaborate, and arrange their own setlists.

Our focus is on giving every band plenty of opportunities to play in the community—from local events and festivals to studio showcases and special performances. It’s all about building confidence, developing musicianship, and sharing the joy of music with others.

Led by our experienced staff—skilled in drums, guitar, bass, piano/keyboards, vocals, ukulele, banjo, mandolin, and recording—students receive professional-level coaching in a supportive, fun environment.

🎶 Make music. Build your band. Take the stage.
Come rock with us and bring your music to life!


Weekly Band Rehearsals & Performances

Each band meets weekly with a dedicated teacher to rehearse, learn songs, and design their own unique set to perform. From choosing a band name and developing a signature sound to coordinating their overall vibe and look, students take ownership of their musical identity.

Bands will rehearse regularly and perform at community events throughout the San Diego area, gaining valuable experience and having a blast along the way.

Upcoming Semester Start Dates:

  • June 2, 2025 – September 29, 2025

  • October 2025 – First week of February 2026

Performance Dates (More TBA as gigs are booked):

  • June 7th, 2025 – STAR Theatre, Oceanside, CA

  • June 15th, 2025 – Father’s Day Car Show, San Marcos
