Specialties
Rock Academy is a family-owned music school that has been around since 2009. Our students come together to meet other young musicians, form bands, and perform concerts, all under the direction of professional musicians. We create a highly focused and fun learning environment specifically designed to encourage, engage, and showcase the talents of our students. If you've never played an instrument or if you consider yourself accomplished, RA is an excellent place for you. Each private lesson is tailored to individual needs and goals. We encourage our private-lesson students to participate in Rock Academy house bands. Weekly private lessons coupled with RA band lessons are the best way to learn and help improve music skill. We are experts at pairing young musicians with our professional music teachers, whose focus is teamwork, communication, rehearsal structure, performance, and musical expression. Our teachers are musicians and university graduates with course study in performing arts who work with students on songs, composition, timing, cueing, performance skills, and decision making.
