School of Rock in Golden, Colorado is proud to serve our community with music lessons taught by real, practicing musicians. We teach everything from singing to piano, bass guitar, drums, and keys. School of Rock students can perform live shows and develop their skills in a supportive learning environment. They may then graduate and carve out their music career by performing at one of the popular music venues in the area including Red Rock, a famous outdoor amphitheater, and the Buffalo Rose in Golden.
Students have one weekly group rehearsal where they learn to play classic rock songs that have been simplified for beginner musicians. Our music programs for kids in Lakewood are designed to get students on stage performing, with the goal of building strong musical proficiency. Additionally, students typically ages 8 to years-old can begin Rock without any prior experience.
It consists of a 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 their age, experience and ability to learn new skills and concepts.
Students then work through their parts in weekly private music lessons, refining the skills and concepts that those songs introduce. The goal of this curriculum is to prepare kids and teens for live performances. All of our other music education programs focus on readying students for our famous Performance Program. This is where students develop incredible musical skills. Performance Program students have often gone through our Rock program first or have some previous basic music experience.
These young musicians will have custom development plans outlined by their instructors with key concepts reinforced during private lessons and group rehearsals, all with the goal of performing live at a Lakewood music venue. 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 pursuing in Rock All of our music programs are designed to inspire students to learn and develop a strong musical proficiency.
