We have made BIG changes to the UROCK program this year and want to share them with you. The first is a new program.

New this Year: Intro to Rockstardom 101
This is a 90 minute ensemble class for beginning rockers ages 10-17, students with less than 1 year of experience. A class of 10 to 12 students of guitars, bass, drums, keyboards and singers. We will teach you the basics of learning your instrumental and singing parts to a song, playing together in a band, and learning how to have fun!
The cost $375 semester. Buddy Rogers Beechmont location.

New and Improved UROCK (University of Rock) 2010/11~ Cincinnati

(Guitar, Bass, Keyboard, Drums, Dj and Vocals)

The University of Rock (UROCK) is a rock band experience for young musicians ages 10-18 that rehearse weekly and are coached in performing rock standards, contemporary hits and writing and performing original songs. UROCK bands meet on Saturdays and selected weekday evenings.

UROCK bands have performed at the Cincinnati Zoo, the Cincinnati Museum Center, Jefferson Hall, the Northside Tavern and are regularly featured on Fox19.

At least 6-months experience is required for UROCK, with knowledge of chords in the 1st position and bar chords on the E and A string for guitarists. Vocalists are encouraged to sing both lead and background.


We are increasing the weekly rehearsal time 25% from 90 minutes to 2 hours onstage. There will be more time for everyone, the bands and the coaches. That's more time for ensemble balance, more time for background vocals, more time for polishing and developing a stage show.

This year there is student input for shows and themes. We seek more inclusion in the repertoire and personnel of UROCK bands, metal, R&B, indie, etc.

Time
will be spent each week on original material. Bands must play original songs in all area Battle of the Bands.

All materials, sheet music, tracks, DVD's of shows and a BCJ UROCK t-shirt are included in the fees this year. Nothing extra or added.


Please register now before August 31 and receive a 10% discount.

Please help by spreading the word to your friends and school mates. Let's have 8 kids in each band to cover all the parts and the background vocals, the absences, etc.

Please help us set up meetings with interested parents, teachers, administrators and young musicians.

*UROCK starts with auditions and placement September 18, 2010 at Buddy Rogers Beechmont.
