  • We promote student collaboration.

    One of the coolest features of our music lessons approach is promoting student collaboration. It is in a group setting that students can truly experience performance at it’s core. Therefore, being able to play music with your friends in front of live audiences is the best way to keep you motivated. Here at Rockside we aim to take your music training to the next level.

  • We practice a performance-based approach.

    Here at Rockside Music we believe the best way to be successful in any music lesson program, is to be able to play as quickly as possible. So, from the time you first walk in to the lesson room, our first priority is to get you playing as soon as possible. After that, as you progress and feel more confident, our ultimate goal is to get you ready to perform. It may be at home for your family and friends, or perhaps at church with the praise team; no matter what your dream is, our mission is to get you there.

  • Amazing concerts & recitals for our students.

    Every parent just wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing. The best way for a parent to understand if their investment in lessons is really worth it, is to have their child participate in a recital or concert. We hold biannual recitals and concerts on Spring and Fall. So, to provide a memorable experience all around, we truly invest time and money on the production of these events.

    For the recitals we offer a more intimate setting. That is to say these are usually more classical in style and mostly solo performances. We set the stage with an incredible Steinway grand piano and pay attention to every detail so that students and families truly feel inspired by the whole experience.

    For the concerts we use a theater venue with stage, lighting, professional sound, drum set, guitars, the whole apparatus. These are more band oriented feature several group performances. Most importantly, these concerts are the culmination of everything we are about and work for. Students collaborating with each other; teachers mentoring and participating with their students; performances by students and their families, and etc. In short, these are extremely fun shows for everyone and we love doing them.

    To sum it all up, these events are everything that Rockside Music Lessons Programs are all about.
