Be A Part Of The Next

Supertonic Guitar Student Concert

February 23, 2020

In January 2016 we held our first ever student concert and it was a blast! The theater was so packed we had to keep finding new places to put people. Everyone who played had rapid progress in their guitar playing. It was awesome to watch all their hard work pay off with excellent performances. Every year since the seats are packed. It is full of fun and life changing experiences.

Watch the video below before reading any further.

Why You Need To Perform And Sign Up Now

  1. Experience the sheer excitement of performing on a stage, conquering your fears, and hearing the applause of your new fans. Literally!
  2. See your skill levels grow massively as you prepare for the event and watch yourself become a much more focused and confident guitarist who can actually play real music in front of a real audience
  3. Build your credibility as a guitar player and increase your opportunities of playing with other great musicians as well as at the next student concert
  4. Inspire others and be inspired by other students’ performances
  5. Learn what to do and what not to do when performing and strengthen your live performance skills. Be confident in the fact that you will be learning from someone with lots of performing experience and not just figuring it out as they go like 99% of musicians out there. My job is to make you sound awesome on stage so I will be with you every step of the way helping you prepare.

DO NOT let fear hold you back! 

This concert is all about having fun and growing as musicians. Everyone who performs will feel fear even if they don’t admit it. Those who perform in spite of fear will conquer that fear, grow in their skills, and develop confidence as a player. Those who do not perform will see others performing and wish they were the ones on stage performing. Even if you do not want to be a performer, this is a great opportunity to become a much better guitar player. You will find a whole new level of focus in your guitar playing and practice you didn’t even know you had. Ask anyone who did play at the events. They will tell you it was exciting, a little terrifying, super motivating, and totally worth it!

Performing is like an athlete training for the big game and actually being in the starting lineup. Athletes don’t train to sit in the stands.

How To Play At The Student Concert

Fill out the student concert application below and we will determine if you have met the criteria for performing.

Criteria for performing includes…

  1. Quality practice habits and effort in your guitar playing
  2. A positive attitude who works well with others

Details

  • This year we will have NO backing tracks.
  • Every song will be done live with a full band; drums, bass, vocals, and guitars. You will get experience of what it’s like to play with a group which will be even more fun and less stressful than playing solo.
  • Students will be assigned to play bass and guitar. If you’re interested in singing let me know in the form below. 
  • Parts will be assigned to students to play; rhythm guitar, lead guitar(solos), or bass. This will be based off of skill level and dedication as a student.
  • Once you have committed to playing we will hold you accountable to fulfilling your role in the performances. Please, please do not sign up without really committing. It is not fair to your fellow performers/bandmates who are taking their part very seriously and working hard to have a great performance. Everyone wants to enjoy themselves and put on a great show for their family, friends, and for themselves. Together we will make that happen.
  • All performers will use the same equipment on stage. This will save a lot of work and time in the performance and make the sound much better in the end.
  • The concert will be on Sunday February 23, 2020 at the Columbia City Theater. 4916 Rainier Ave S, Franklin, TN 98118 (see photos below)
