Band Workshops - Rock, Acoustic & Electronic (Weekly)

This weekly, term-based Band Workshops program supports artists with disability to make music together in a supportive, artist-led environment. Participants have the option of joining a rock band, an acoustic band or an electronic band, signing up for a 10 week term to become a band member. The program has clear learning and outcome goals, including learning how to play as a band, collaborative songwriting, recording and performance. 

Open to all skill levels, the workshops build confidence, teamwork and musical communication. Bands work at their own pace, with flexible approaches to participation, access and support, creating space for every artist to grow and contribute.

Alongside the term-based program, we also run a monthly Jam Band session. These relaxed, drop-in sessions are ideal for newcomers wanting to try playing in a band without long-term commitment. The focus is on connection, experimentation and having fun, with simple structures and supportive facilitation to help artists feel welcome, included and confident.

WAH also runs artist bands, where a band is formed around a single artist’s songs to play them live and record. Opportunities may come up for new players of suitable standard to join one of these bands.

Date: Wednesdays, weekly, term-based

Time: 10-4pm (individual band times confirmed on enrolment)

Location: Sol Green Community Centre, corner Coventry & Montague St, South Melbourne
