PROGRAM

Our program here at the Rock'n'Roll Academy is truly unique. Please read on-- Please call if you would like to schedule an appointment with our music director if you have any questions.

Our belief is that what leads to the greatest longevity of music as a fulfilling part of life is achieved when a connection with music is made as a utility for personal expression. We want you to be playing music for the rest of your life, and so we focus on 100% original music as the means to study and develop the skills required to construct it, and to communicate it to your instruments, your bandmates, and the world.

We believe that nothing in the world is as motivating or enjoyable as having a group of people support you and manifest their desire to execute your ideas (as in your own bandmates working on a song you've written), and we believe that this unique motivation leads directly to the MOST efficient music study possible.

Our classes (publicly manifested as bands) utilize all the struggles and obstacles of the small band dynamic to study ALL FORMS of technique, tradition, notation, and theory in depth that is required for musical fluency, as well as the finer elements of psychology, responsibility, interpersonal relation, teamwork and identity that are involved in any artistic group endeavor.

Efficiency in learning is our main goal, and boredom and anxiety are our worst enemies, so we do our best to keep our classes age, skill and personality appropriate! Fun for all! Comfort and support for all! Anxiety free! If you've EVER felt too anxious or nervous to pick up an instrument, make music, or join a band, our school is for you!

Our moto is "Music for the Rest of Your Life", and we mean it! Our study is deep, our plan of attack is thorough, and we will bring the tools of neverending happiness, fulfillment and identity into yours or your childs life.
