Frequently Asked Questions

Q. So what is Rockstar Experience?

A. Rockstar Experience is made for musicians, by musicians. Our overall mission is to help musicians improve their musical skills and pursue their dreams of performing live in a band. Whether you already play in a band, you've only just started playing, or you've only ever sung in the shower, Rockstar Experience aims to inspire you to do more with your music.

Q. I'm no professional - I haven't played in a band before and I just muck around in my spare time. I don't think I can do this.

A. Rockstar Experience is designed to challenge your musical experience and skills in a fun environment. No matter what instrument you play, if you have played fluently in the past, or you're currently having lessons and have been for at least six months, we promise you'll have a blast and really hone those talents.

Q. Yeah ok, that's fine but I would be too scared to play in front of other people, let alone get up on stage!
A. Trying something new and challenging is often nerve-wracking...but do you really want to miss out on the chance to have this much fun? We guarantee that all participants will be feeling the same way as you at first. Imagine how you'll feel coming off stage for the first time - there's no other feeling in the world like playing in front of a live audience!

Q. I've never played an instrument - how do I know which one to choose?
A. If you have never played anything, we suggest you choose to be a lead or backing vocalist, or you might choose to play a percussion instrument.

Q. If I’m just starting to learn, how long will it take until I can participate?
A. Everyone progresses at different speeds. If you love the idea of taking part but you're nervous about your ability, give us a call on 0488 ROCKSTAR to talk about where you're at. We'll give you advice and can hook you up with a great teacher if you want to progress your skills a little before taking part.

Q: How old do you have to be to participate?
A: We currently accept participants over the age of 15 years. In 2011 Rockstar Experience will become available for participants younger than 15. More information will be provided on this website shortly.

Q: What equipment is provided?
A: We provide all guitars, basses, drums, amps, PA and microphones.

Q: Can I bring my own gear?
A: Guitar and bass players can bring their own instruments, and vocalists can bring their own microphone if they wish. For logistical reasons, you will need to use the drum kits, amps and PA that we provide.

Q. What if I get stage fright?
A. The training you’ll receive along the way will prepare you for the adrenaline rush that goes along with a live show. As part of the experience we provide a number of activities and tactics to help you harness any fears and turn them into positives. This experience is all about fun - NOT proficiency. Music is there to be enjoyed and we are here to help you sound your best. If you are holding off on registering because you think you're not good enough, think again! This program is for anyone with the most basic skill level. Trust yourself and have some fun.

Q. How much does Rockstar Experience cost?
A. If you decide to pay on a weekly basis for your 8 week course, you'll pay $45 per rehearsal - that's over 4 hours of group tuition in each session. If you choose to pay up front, you'll save almost $7 per week with a total package price of $299. Simply choose your preferred option on the signup page and follow the prompts through to pay on your credit card via Paypal. Or choose the cheque option to send us a bank cheque or money order.
