BandWorks - Camps and Classes

Last checked August 2026

BandWorks runs week-long rock-and-pop band camps for kids and teens at studios in San Rafael and Oakland, with half-day (9 a.m.-12 or 1-4 p.m.) and full-day options grouped by age (roughly 8-11 and 11+). Campers form a band from day one, learn and rehearse several songs, and perform live, with themed 'Music of...' camps (Green Day, Nirvana, Hendrix, etc.) and a digital-recording camp also offered.

★★★★★Tom Lynham

This past summer our family stayed in Fairfax for a couple of weeks (we live in Portland), and we needed something for our daughter to do during the days. She is enrolled in that "other" program up here at home, but the schedule and pricing at BandWorks was perfect for that trip. They made her feel very welcome, and she had a blast. I still hear her practicing a couple of the Nirvana riffs that she learned there six months later. Highly recommended.

★★★★★Jan Bass

Learn to play in a band environment with mentors to lead you along. Brilliant!
