BANDMAKER
The BANDMAKER program is designed to unleash the artistic potential of TAKE ONE students. Students form a band, in which they not only work on songs from other artists and bands, but also create their own songs and release them at the end of each season. In addition to rehearsals and individual lessons on their instruments, students choose a workshop to acquire and perfect the skills they need to create, record, and release their own music.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
BAND REHEARSAL
During rehearsals, the songs to be performed in the season-ending show are prepared. Each season features a new musical style (worked on by the entire school), giving us a thematic show from start to finish.
Bands that have been around for more than 6 months are ready to begin the process of creating original songs, which will be written by the band members.
It's very important to emphasize that bands ARE NOT ENSEMBLES, since each member has a fixed place. By being part of a band, you're part of a musical project with real goals, a brotherhood of musicians who will grow with you and accompany you through one of the best chapters of your musical career, one that can extend for many years.
INDIVIDUAL CLASSES
All the songs we work on in your band rehearsals are polished and improved in your individual instrument lessons... even the original songs. Our teachers are trained to teach you all the techniques and give you the tools you need to quickly advance in what you need.
EACH CLASS LASTS 1 HOUR, during which time you can delve deeper into the theoretical and technical concepts behind each song and each style of music we work on each season.
WORKSHOPS
The workshops you can choose from within the BANDMAKER program provide you with the skills you need to grow exponentially in your creative areas. The options you can choose from (one per season) are:
- Songwriting: You will learn to take advantage of collaborative work, where you will participate in the collective creation of songs.
- Music Production for Musicians: In this workshop, we don't train music producers. Instead, we teach you, in your own role as a musician, to understand all the recording and production processes for each instrument, while also learning how to work with a music producer.
- Practical harmony (basic and advanced): This is how you can expand your musical theoretical horizons by learning different scales, progressions, and structures that will improve your performance on the instrument.

RELEASE SHOW
All TAKE ONE bands perform once every 6 months in a big seasonal show.
These shows also feature each band's original songs, performed live in front of a real audience in a real venue.
Musical styles change with each season, resulting in greater growth and live experience.
Our presentations are ALWAYS in a comfortable venue, close to the school, that offers good audio conditions and services, so that both you and your fans have the best experience.
Shows are temporary, but music releases are forever.
REAL MUSIC RELEASE
Each band's original songs are recorded, mixed, and mastered at TAKE ONE... and distributed as singles to all major streaming and sales platforms.
You will have in your hands a real and tangible testimony of your time at TAKE ONE.
Your fans will be able to listen to your songs from anywhere in the world, and you'll receive royalties for each play, just like any other industry professional.
At TAKE ONE, we advise and guide you through the procedures and processes for managing your artist profiles on different platforms, as well as helping you promote your music.
MASTERCLASSES
We are occasionally holding MASTERCLASSES with guests from the music industry and TAKE ONE teachers.
The topics are very varied, ranging from purely musical topics to management and the record industry.
These talks last 1 hour, are given on Saturdays at noon and ARE OPTIONAL.
Each student chooses the masterclasses that interest them and purchases their tickets. All of them serve to deepen their knowledge of how various areas of the music industry work.
THESE ARE EXCLUSIVE TO THE TAKE ONE COMMUNITY.
