ABOUT SCHOOL OF ROCK
School of Rock is an ingenious concept that gets kids ages 7 to 17 rocking out on stage and performing with their peers. The schools programs are designed to create a supportive environment where music students of all skill levels are comfortable yet challenged at every turn. In addition to individual private music instruction on guitar, bass, vocals, keyboards and/or drums, these aspiring rock stars also learn how to jam with other kids in a weekly practice session to prepare for real concerts! The team dynamic gets kids motivated and gives them something to which they really look forward – the performance!
All School of Rock programs are performance-based and emphasize the message that music is not just about playing an instrument; it’s about teamwork, building confidence, and creating leaders. The first stage is “School of Rock 101”, teaching basic skills through 45-minute private lessons and 90-minute group sessions. Next, students reach the main program, the heart and soul of School of Rock – the “Performance Program.” This stage consists of 45-minute private lessons and a 2 night show weekend. The students are cast on songs and rehearse them in a 3-hour rehearsal each week, preparing for the big show. After 12-13 weeks, the students transform into rock stars in a blowout concert in front of a real live audience. Additionally, School of Rock also offers 5 day intensive summer camps, involving rehearsals with a big show at the end. These 5 day camps are guaranteed to transform a “wannabe” into a true rock performer. School of Rock also has an adult performance program called the “Adult Jam – aka – The Altacockers.”
*Specials are now being offered to new students for all of January as well as early bird specials for Summer Camps!
