WELCOME TO OUR NEW TEACHERS

We recently added not one but TWO new awesome instructors to our amazing teaching staff. Chase Albrecht teaches keys, guitar and drums with us and Max Gilder is an excellent new drum instructor. Both Max and Chase are excited to help students grow into well rounded musicians with a passion for playing with others. Call or email the school to set up a lesson with one of these amazing new instructors!

Inclement Weather

Chances are we will have some more of the fluffy white stuff this season. If you take your lesson in person or have a group that rehearses in person, please take note of how we will handle things.
On the day in question, we will determine if our staff can come in and return home safely, particularly for groups. Often the timing of the storm allows us to continue our in person operations but other times we will need to pivot to online teaching. If you feel the roads are not safe and we are open, you may opt to take your in person lesson online for that day even if we are operating in person, just let us know. We will post up on our FB page if there's a closure and send an email if there are any changes to the in person groups on that day by 1PM. If you have a question shoot us an email, check our programs site, social media, or give us a call before you head out.

THOUGHTS FROM THE MOTHERSHIP
with Our Music Director - Brooks

TUNING - An essential but often overlooked part of playing an instrument is tuning it. Making sure your instrument is in tune is one of the first steps when playing in any context, but especially in a rehearsal or performance. Playing in tune is an absolute must for guitarists and bassists, so make sure you practice ear training to know when you're out of tune. Younger or less experienced musicians should also spend time with their instructor learning how to tune quickly so they don't take up too much rehearsal time. Drummers also need to know how to tune their instrument and how to get a good tone out of the drums, so make sure to talk to your instructor about tuning drums this week!

Summer 2022 Intern Program Info Coming Soon

Did you know that School of Rock offers summer camp internships to Performance Program students ages 12 and up? It's a fun way to do more music, develop your leadership skills and musicianship all at the same time. Interns sign up for a week at a time of summer camp where they help the Director by teaching parts, helping campers feel welcome and keeping things flowing along with other duties. We will we sending out a sign up for summer 2022 so stay tuned and let Brooks or Rose know if you have any questions.
