PERFORMANCE PATHWAY
From Practice Room to Performance Opportunities
Learning music isn’t just about mastering your instrument – it’s about connection, collaboration, and finding ways to share your passion. That’s why Manhattan Music offers students the opportunity to participate in live performance experiences, including our legendary annual Manhattan Music Rock Show.
Held at the end of each year, the Rock Show brings months of practice to life in an unforgettable night of live music. Students who choose to take part perform in front of family, friends, and fellow musicians, showcasing their progress and celebrating their musical journey.
Beyond the Rock Show, we also run regular band workshops where students can jam together, develop ensemble skills, and learn the art of collaboration and teamwork. It’s not just about becoming a strong individual player – it’s about growing as a confident, supportive band member.
