The Performance Program is our hallmark music program, where tens of thousands of students enroll each year. It consists of weekly group rehearsal where kids and teens learn by playing rock music's most iconic songs with a band composed of their peers. Students are assigned songs and parts that are tailored to them based on age, experience, and ability to learn new skills and concepts. Students then work through their parts weekly in private music lessons, refining the skills and concepts that those songs introduce.
ROOKIES (ages 6 & 7)
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays 3:30pm to 4:15pm
Rookies students have one weekly group music lesson where they learn fundamentals like chords, rhythm, and song structure. Kids get to learn and experiment with multiple instruments so they can later decide which one they ultimately want to continue pursing in Rock 101.
*NEW* Songwriting & Recording Club (Ages 13 - 18)
Sundays, 12:30pm to 2:45pm
Our Songwriting program teaches the fundamentals of songwriting, arrangement, music theory, and helps students compose original works. At School of Rock New York, songwriting students receive one weekly private lesson where they learn concepts, technique and theory on an instrument of their choice. These principles are then applied in a weekly group meeting where students work together on songwriting exercises, lyrical workshops, rehearse their work and ultimately master it into a fully fledged album. Every few months, songwriting students take the stage to perform or band together to record their original songs.
