Rock U Canada Workshops

Dialing in Your Tone - Workshop

 The workshop is split into three different sections: guitars, pedals, and amps. Each of these sections focuses on getting a foot in the door to the greater understanding of what each of these things do. We will cover what sounds you can get from each aspect and how to blend it all together and create your own unique sound.

Sunday, October 25 | 2:00 – 3:30 PM | $30

Friday Jam Night - Beginner Friendly

October 30th 2026 7:00-9:00

Forget the pressure to be an expert, this is a jam night for adults who want to play music together. Come find your place in a jam, and build confidence playing with other musicians. Whether you’re brand new to jamming or just looking for a low-pressure way to get back into playing, you’ll get hands-on experience with familiar songs, simple arrangements, and plenty of opportunities to play, experiment, and have fun.

The Musican's Toolbox: Theory For The Stage

Forget the textbook, this is music theory you can actually use. Together we’ll explore the concepts that matter most for rehearsals, jam sessions, and live performances. We’ll cover the fundamentals of harmony and chord theory, musical communication and creation, along with tools to strengthen your playing in the context of a live show – all demonstrated through hands on examples and contemporary music taken directly from the set lists of our band program.

Saturday, November 28 | 6:00-8:00 PM | $40
