Since it was founded in 2007 (at Beautiful Music in Downers Grove), Garage Band U has provided
its students with a critical learning experience that individual study cannot deliver:
HANDS-ON GROUP PERFORMANCE.

 Now part of the Hinsdale Conservatory of Music, Garage Band U holds classes in the historic
Zion Lutheran School building at 125 S. Vine Street, Hinsdale, IL 60521.

Garage Band U creates a fun and supportive environment where musicians of all ages
develop their skills by performing as members of a functioning rock band. Musical confidence and
ability grow together and thrive at Garage Band U.

Semesters last 8 to 12 weeks, with an open enrollment policy. Students are grouped in
small classes with musicians of the same age and experience level. Band size is kept small (usually 5-6 people)
to ensure that everyone plays his or her principal instrument at all times.

Musical repertoire is determined by the band members; students are encouraged to
submit appropriate song suggestions. Groups rehearse for 1 hour per week, culminating in a live
performance at a public venue with a stage and professional sound system.

Garage Band U students learn what is expected of professional musicians, and they experience the
thrill and pride of performing together as members of a real rock band.
