With Helvetiarockt, you can start your own band within a year. In our bandworkshops, experienced coaches guide you and your bandmates through the whole journey: from starting the band, to rehearsals, all the way to your very first concerts.
Our regional workshops last around eight months, take place across Switzerland and are led by professional musicians. Together, you’ll try out different music styles, improvise, and develop your very own sound. The highlight comes in Autumn with your first live shows.
In addition to the regular rehearsals, the programme includes two special weekender workshops: Performance and Soundcheck. In the Performance weekender you will learn how to feel confident on stage and deliver your best show. In the Soundcheck weekender, you will learn how to run a soundcheck before a concert and prepare for a live performance. Both workshops also offer the opportunity to connect and network with other young musicians.
Are you between 14 and 25 years old and do you identify as a girl, young woman, intersex, non-binary, trans or agender? Then this is for you – let’s go!
