FAQs

How do our classes work? What's the vibe?

LEVELS:

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. Advancing classes allow students to explore even further techniques on their instruments. Use our FIND-A-CLASS TOOL to get started!

THE VIBE:

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!
