Please Note:
Rock School is a group-based program designed for musicians who already have a basic understanding of how to play their instrument. While participants are not expected to be advanced players, they must be able to play independently and have at least 3 or more months of experience prior to joining. Our instructors focus on guiding bands as a whole. We are not able to provide individual instruction during rehearsals. If you or your child is still learning the basics, we recommend starting with private lessons first to build confidence and foundational skills before participating in Rock School.
