Power Plant Records and Beach Cities Rock Club Music School - Your Hub for Music in San Clemente, California.
Welcome to Power Plant Records, San Clemente’s one-of-a-kind record store and music school! We offer a unique blend of vintage vinyl treasures and the vibrant sounds of local talent through our Beach Cities Rock Club music school. Each season, Beach Cities Rock Club bands get a different real-world performance hookup — Ocean Fest, Battle of the Bands, Putting on the Glitz, skate-park competitions with live bands, open mic nights at Stuft Pizza across the parking lot, and more. We’re especially tight with Ball of the Bands at San Clemente High (we helped Mr. Bish get that event started). Dates rotate with the season — watch this page and our flyers for the next one. We’re creating a safe, encouraging environment for musicians in San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, Mission Viejo, and Laguna Niguel. Join us and be part of the music scene!
Seasonal Performances
Performances are a great way to boost motivation and give students an opportunity to show what they’ve accomplished. Some schools make their students participate in recitals, but to us they have always felt fake and offer only a surface level achievement for the student; Just checking a box.
That’s why we let our students choose whether to perform publicly at one of our seasonal showcases — community festivals, battles of the bands, skate-park stages, Stuft Pizza open mics, and similar local stages — or to have their own private recording session in our in-house professional studio. We believe giving students the freedom to choose the way in which they perform lends toward a more authentic and rewarding experience.
Set your goal.
Set a goal
Goals are everything when it comes to measuring success in music. There are many small stepping stone goals and then there are big goals. Performing at a seasonal showcase or recording a track make excellent seasonal goals. We’ll help you to choose and arrange songs to best showcase the skills you acquire in your lessons.
Make a Plan
A practice plan is a roadmap to success. We’ll help you establish a plan that will breakdown a challenging task into bite sized chunks that can be accomplished on after another. Then we combine all the pieces together into a complete work. The last phase of the plan is always to polish it up with extra rehearsal to make sure your performance will shine.
Execute
Time to realize all of your hard work. Whether you’ve chosen to play at a seasonal performance or record your song in the studio, it will surely be a satisfying and rewarding moment. You’ll know that you’re well prepared and ready to accomplish the goal you set. This is one of our favorite days of the season, because students prove to themselves that they have what it takes to achieve whatever they set their mind to.
