Traditional music education approaches rarely teach students how to perform with other musicians. The patented School of Rock Method is different. We combine one-on-one instruction with group rehearsals and live performances, teaching students how to play together as a band. Our version of recitals are real rock shows at real venues in front of live audiences.
School of Rock starts students on their lifelong musical journey by teaching the songs that inspire them. As part of the School of Rock Method, our SongFirst approach uses classic songs to teach technique and theory. This method helps students remain excited about their music education and eager to practice. For example, we may teach students how to play a classic rock guitar solo, and use it as the foundation for introducing scales and mechanics.
Our revolutionary music education system has been awarded a patent, making the School of Rock Method available nowhere else. The School of Rock Method builds musical proficiency through our proprietary Method App, Method Book collection, SongFirst approach, and performance-based music curriculum. The School of Rock Method has been refined and perfected for over 20 years, culminating in a music education system that is proven to teach music.
