Welcome to The Woodshed

A music rehearsal space with drums, guitar amplifiers, and audio equipment, set against a wooden wall with framed artwork and potted plants, illuminated by warm lighting.

The Woodshed* is a monthly workshop where students come together to apply their chops in front of other students, supported by band of professional musicians. In this supportive environment where constructive criticism is encouraged and expected, students will gain live experience where YOU are the band leader. Join the Woodshed today!

Why?

There are few things in life more enjoyable than watching a band who has put in the work and can deliver a stellar performance that keeps you thinking about it days after. That’s what I want for all of my students. I’m not raising the next generation of bedroom rockstars. Music is ABOUT the live performance. It is about connecting with an audience and pouring your heart and soul into your performance. We don’t mime. We don’t play with backing tracks. We perform. That’s what music is, plain and simple. My goal is to get you out of the bedroom and onto the stage. where you belong!

But remember, the audience does not owe us their attention because we chose to be musicians. As musicians, we owe it to the audience to be the best we can possibly be. Their attention and trust is earned, not given.

*Woodshed - Among musicians and other artists, "woodshedding" (or simply "shedding") means secluding yourself to practice. It refers to intense, focused repetition of difficult material in private to master your craft before performing in public.
