Three days, one weekend, or once a month — every format ends with you making music with other people. Not with exercises. With music.
Our open Saturday meet-up. If you own an instrument, come and play — a few chords are enough. Kids play together in the morning, teens and adults afterwards. No stage, no audience, just people making music together.

1 day · 5–20 peoplePrice on requestA music workshop at Fretster is not a talk with slides. Within a few minutes you have an instrument in your hands and you are playing with other people – real songs, in a rehearsal room with amps, a drum kit and a vocal PA. There is always something to hear at the end: a song, a gig or a recording.
There are two kinds of formats. The ongoing ones: the Band Workshop with a fixed band every week, and the free Jam Station once a month. And the compact ones: three days in the school holidays, five days in summer, one weekend or one day in the studio. Fretster has two locations in Munich – in Obersendling (Hatzelweg 25) and in Allach-Untermenzing (Gustav-Otto-Bogen 13). Where a format takes place is shown next to the date, or we sort it out with you personally.
Why play in a group at all? Because listening, keeping time and coming in at the right moment can only be learned with other people in the room. Alone at home you practise your instrument – in a band it turns into music. And let's be honest: nobody has ever applauded a metronome.

It depends on the format. The beginner course starts from zero, and a few chords are enough for the Jam Station. For the Band Workshop you should be able to get through three or four songs or grooves – we put the bands together by level so nobody is bored or overwhelmed.
The Band Workshop has bands for children, for teenagers and for adults – adults play with adults. The holiday workshop and the Summer Band Camp are for children and teenagers aged 8 to 18. At the Jam Station, kids aged 6 to 14 play at the Kids Jam at 11:00, teens and adults from 13:30.
The Band Workshop costs €52 per person per month. The 3-day Band Workshop and the holiday workshop start at €149, the Summer Band Camp at €249, the weekend crash course at €149 and the studio day at €189. The Jam Station is free.
Amps, a drum kit and a vocal PA are in the rehearsal room. You bring your guitar, bass or sticks. If you do not have an instrument yet, message us before you sign up.
Dates are listed at the top of this page under “Upcoming dates”. If none is shown, the next one is being planned – message us on WhatsApp or via the contact page. The holiday workshop runs in the Bavarian autumn, winter and Easter holidays.
A songwriting workshop was part of our 2026 summer programme. There is no new date yet. If you write your own songs: in Studio Recording you record your piece and go home with a mixed song. Message us if you want to join the next songwriting date.
Yes. The corporate workshop is a team day for 5 to 20 people, and nobody needs any musical experience. For schools and private groups we put together a custom format on request.
