History
All of the founders of the Gowanus Music Club know first hand what an early commitment to music can bring to a young person's life. We know because as kids, we were all lucky enough to have great musical mentors. We hail from the suburbs of Connecticut, the wilds of Oregon, the shores of Jamaica and the streets of Brazil. Josh, Peter and James grew up together playing in their first rock band in high school. Tracy and Tomas both have had valuable experience performing and recording for Warner Bros. and Island Records. In short, music has been a driving force in our lives since early childhood. Now, we want to be mentors, so that the younger generations can benefit in the same ways we did.
Specialties
Gowanus Music Club offers kids year-round private instruction and group band instruction along with many opportunities to jam together informally. Students will spend time both in the rehearsal studio and in a recording studio. Bands will be formed to support individual ability and skill to allow each person to progress at their own pace while immersed in a shared musical experience. We will nurture diverse interests in musical genres to help kids discover what kinds of music they love. Each semester will culminate in a student performance that parents, family and friends will attend. Kids will take home CDs of their work that will serve as a wonderful document of their experience at GMC. It is of the utmost importance to us that your child has an inspiring and most of all fun experience at Gowanus Music Club. We are dedicated to the growth and fulfillment of your child's Rock and Roll future!
