We don’t just train musicians.

We form G.R.E.A.T. musicians — resilient, expressive, mission-driven young artists who understand that music is more than a performance. It’s a purpose.

Each letter in G.R.E.A.T. reminds our students of the kind of musicians — and people — they are becoming:

• G – God’s Gift: Acknowledging that all musical ability is a gift from God, to be stewarded with gratitude.
• R – Reliable: Delivering consistent quality, showing up prepared, and owning their responsibility to the team.
• E – Entertaining: Making music that captivates, inspires, and emotionally moves people.
• A – Ability: Developing technical skill and showcasing their unique talent without ego.
• T – Teachable: Staying open to correction, hungry to grow, and ready to pass on what they learn.

This is what makes the Shape Band different.

This is what makes RockSmith Club transformational.

We use technology like Rocksmith 2014, game-based learning, and song-based instruction to engage the hands — but G.R.E.A.T. is how we engage the heart.
