Local Rock Star
Teaches Future Rock Stars!
July 4, 2005
Be In A
Band is the motto and the name of a new business started
by Jon Siebels, founding member of the hit rock group Eve
6. The La Crescenta band sold over 3 million albums in
their tenure on RCA records. Jon and his two business
partners have teamed up
to help other musicians experience
what it is like to play in a band. “For me, playing in a
band is so much more fulfilling than playing guitar by
myself.” said Jon. “I have had so many awesome
experiences playing in bands, and I have enjoyed showing
other kids and adults how to get started.”
Be In
A Band offers 10 week courses in Rock, Pop, Jazz and
Blues. They organize the bands, schedule the classes and
separate by level of ability. (Beginning, Intermediate
and Advanced).
The bands meet once per week at
the "Be In A Band" recording studio in Montrose. At the
end of the course, the bands are recorded and each band
member receives a pro CD of his or her band.
One of Jon’s
business partners is his dad, Dave Siebels. Dave has
been a professional musician for 35 years and has played
with many name acts like Ray Charles, B.B. King and Rita
Coolidge. He also scores films and TV shows. “It’s very
satisfying to see the progress and enthusiasm of the
groups that I’ve worked with.” said Dave.
“Playing in a band raises the enjoyment and commitment
level of any musician who tries it.”
Amy
Yazzetta is the third partner and administers the
business and schedules the classes. “It makes all of us
happy to give something back to the community that we’ve
been a part of for so long.” said Amy. The number to
reach her and reserve a spot in a band is 818-249-MUSIC.

Your students must be working on a basic knowledge of
chords and various accompaniment patters. If you'd
like to know more about playing and teaching those
styles, we have workshops to help you. This could

these styles and have the skill of instructing each
