​

How It Works

• Each class begins with a quick class introduction followed by the teacher announcing the day's project before students move to Keylab's custom audio stations, where creative mixing and headphone practice tools allow each musician to isolate and learn their parts independently.

• Songs will be chosen by the instructor for the first classes, but the instructor may open up the class to participant song suggestions.

• The group then comes together for full-band rehearsal, and every class closes with a jam session — giving students the space to develop listening skills, musical creativity, and confidence.

• Class sizes are kept deliberately small so every musician gets real playing time and genuine feedback.

 

More Than Just Playing Music

• Songlab is an opportunity to work collaboratively with other musicians, make group decisions, and develop the kind of listening and communication skills that only come from playing with others. 

• Whether you're a lifelong musician looking to finally play with a group, or someone returning to music after years away, Songlab is one of Brooklyn's most unique adult music classes — designed specifically for working adults who want a real musical experience without the hassle of organizing it themselves.

 

Flexible Scheduling & Great Location

• Songlab works around your schedule. Book a single class, multiple classes, or enroll for the full session — with significant savings for full session enrollment.

• Classes are held at Keylab's Carroll Gardens studio, five blocks from the F/G train at Carroll St. and Smith & 9th St. stations.

Participation Criteria

• Songlab is not a beginner adult band class, but you don't need to be an advanced player to participate.

• If you can play basic chords, simple musical parts, or fundamental rhythm patterns with a decent sense of tempo, you're likely ready.

• Songlab will help you develop the listening and locking-in skills that only come from playing with a real band.

• Guitar and bass students should be at least familiar with tuning their instrument — tuning support is provided in class.

• If you're not sure whether you're ready, contact us to arrange a brief evaluation, or add a note when booking and we'll reach out to make sure the class is the right fit before confirming your spot.
