Some Kids are born to rock.

​Some kids have a natural rhythm and a passion for music that just can't be contained. Our Kids Rock Band program is designed to channel that energy, giving young musicians the opportunity to explore their talents, play in a real band, and perform on stage. Whether they're beginners or budding rock stars, our program helps them shine!

Arguably he most fun way to learn music

Playing music with others in a rock band context is FUN. It's like being on a team with one goal: to rock! 

Make friends Along the Way

​In our rock band program, kids not only learn music together but also forge lasting friendships. Collaborating on songs and performing together creates strong bonds among band members.

Build confidence

Playing in a rock band with other kids is a confidence-building experience. As they work together to create music, kids learn to trust their abilities and contributions. Performing in front of an audience boosts their self-esteem and helps them overcome stage fright, building confidence that extends into other areas of their lives.

performances in front of family and friends

​Performing in front of family and friends can be a transformative experience for youth. It provides a supportive environment for them to showcase their talents and hard work, boosting their confidence and self-esteem. Additionally, the positive feedback and encouragement from loved ones can inspire them to further pursue their passion for music. Our rock bands perform both at our recitals and at other venues around town! 

Uses creativity and self expression

Rock band classes offer a unique platform for kids to unleash their creativity and express themselves. They can experiment with different musical styles, instruments, and arrangements, fostering a sense of individuality and artistic expression. Through collaborative songwriting and performance, kids learn to communicate their emotions and ideas, developing a deeper connection to music and themselves.

How it works:

Rock band classes meet once per week and students are required to be enrolled in both rock band classes and private lessons at the same time.
