About Our Classes

All skill levels are welcome! All ages are welcome! Our absolute beginners can start in a Level I class and feel welcome to repeat as needed. We’ll play new songs as we build basic skills. Level II classes are for beginners with some practice, or experienced musicians learning a new instrument.

Yes, for now you will need to source your own instrument for classes. We are building our instrument library and hope to be able to provide rentals and purchases, so we are taking donations! Please contact director@rocktownhouseofmusic.com for donation information.

The following local resources can help you rent or buy your instrument:

tillerstrings.com - A full service violin shop offering violin, viola, cello, bass, and bow sales, rentals, and repairs in downtown Harrisonburg, VA.

https://www.hometownmusic.net/ - A local music store offering all kinds of instrument sales, including electric/acoustic guitars, basses, drums, ukulele, mandolin, banjo, and more. Also offering repair and maintenance.

https://www.tuningforkrepair.com/ - A local music store specializing in personalized repair, offering a wide variety of well-maintained, repaired and refurbished instruments.

These repertoire-based classes are for intermediate to experienced players, with focuses ranging from genres (Classic Country) to specific artists (Dolly Parton).

These are opportunities to meet new people and explore new types of music. Our instructors will help students learn songs and rehearse as a group. Come with an open mind, we’ll explore all kinds of music!

We recognize the importance of simply having fun in order to experience the joy of music. As an organization, Rocktown House of Music prioritizes the mental, physical, and emotional health of all students. We want you to practice! But we want you to come to class with a clean conscience even if you didn’t at all.

All students will be given the opportunity to perform at the end of each semester. No student should feel any pressure to participate, but all students are welcome.

RHOM values the connections made between people through music. We value and support collaboration, mentorship, and partnership with local organizations. Please get in touch below.
