Now in it's 7th year in Berrien County, Grammy® winner Dave Carlock's FRS program at the Orchards Mall is a 30 minute, mandatory twice per week program for either beginning or experienced students of all ages.

Students should select "Private" + "Intensive" for this program. Under certain circumstances, lessons may be given via FaceTime, Skype, or equivalent. Student should have high speed internet connection and a usable phone, tablet, or computer.

Voice
NOTE: The FRS focuses on popular music styles heard on the radio over the last 50 years and encourages students to choose songs "straight from their playlist". During his time in Los Angeles, Mr. Carlock trained American Idol and America's Got Talent contestants and focuses on "natural-sound voice training", as opposed to opera or classical training.

Piano
NOTE: The FRS focuses on popular music styles heard on the radio over the last 50 years as opposed to classical training, offering both piano and keyboard lessons, which can feature various sounds created by synthesizers.

Guitar
NOTE: The FRS focuses on popular music styles heard on the radio over the last 50 years as opposed to classical guitar training, and encourages students to choose songs "straight from their playlist". Lessons are taught on either acoustic or electric guitar and focus on rhythm playing, fingerpicking, soloing techniques, and more. Bass guitar also offered.

Other Instruments
The FRS is pleased to also offer Bass Guitar, Ukelele, Music Theory, Songwriting, Music Business Mentoring, and Recording Engineering 101.
NOTE: "Recording Engineering 101" courses are uniquely a minimum 2 hour per week session length, so the Parent Partnership does not cover the course's full cost, but can pay half, by selecting "Private" + "Intensive". Any remaining course fees must be paid by the student.

*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
