May 1st marks the 1 year anniversary of me, our former music director buying the school that I loved working at! One of the main focuses I wanted to improve on was the overall culture of the school. The corporate mission statement is something I have really taken to heart: "We are a growing, passionate community dedicated to enriching lives through performance-based music education." We recently did a video compilation asking people to tell us their favorite thing about School of Rock, and while I loved all the answers, the one that kept coming up the most was the community we have, the friends, the people. Just so many people seem to like being here that I couldn't be happier. Our goal is to create a place that isn't just learning music, because there are a lot of those options out there. What separates us is that feeling of community. You are a rockstar here, pure and simple. As we begin our 2nd year of my ownership, our goal is to continue to grow, to increase the awareness of what we offer! We want to be a central part of our community here in Rockland County. Here at Rockland we let our mission drive the ship. I sincerely thank each and every parent who has taken the time and money to send their child to us for music. I thank all the the kids who have made this place special, finding long lasting friendships, confidence, artistry, creativity and making this a fun place to be! Here's to another year at Rockland!

This is a story I would like to share about why we do what we do

Wanna be a rockstar but nervous about that first step? Come in and experience our fun and supportive adult band program and learn the instrument of your choice while rockin' out in real rock shows at real rock venues real awesome people!

Our Rock 101 program combines weekly private lessons on the instrument of your choice with a weekly group class where your rocker will get experience playing in a rock band with other students. They'll learn classic songs like Seven Nation Army, Come Together, and others work together to jam these songs while learning the ins and outs of the techniques and theory it takes to play them. Watch them improv, not only their musicianship, but you'll see them gain self confidence, become more social, and their creativity will go through the roof! Don't wait. If they are 8 years or older, and starting their musical journey, rock 101 is the way to go!

On Wednesdays and Saturdays, we will be holding Little Wing classes aimed at the 4-5 age group and Rookies classes aimed at 5-8 years old.
