At The Rock Mill we believe that learning music is a truly magical experience that needs to be shared, and taught with enthusiasm. No stodgy old music books with songs that lull you to sleep. We discover what inspires our students and use that to develop a unique lesson plan to achieve their goals. Nowadays there are so many distractions, with a screen everywhere we look, that we believe we must teach music to the hearts of our students, not just their heads.
Being a musician is like being a vampire. You can't be one until you've been bitten by another. There are plenty of great instrumentalists and vocalists out there, but to be a musician you have to learn the dynamics of working in a group, and embrace a deep understanding of teamwork. Along with private lessons, our band dynamics program puts students together with other students of their own age and ability and teaches them how to navigate these waters. Our program teaches the understanding of tempo and dynamics while introducing the indefinable bond created when music is done well together. Our Artist Development program helps guide artists thru the process of perfecting the stage craft, promotion, and real world application of performing. With access to our incredible recording studio at discounted prices, and the wealth of knowledge of our experienced staff, our artists will be able elevate their abilities quickly while getting the stage time to perfect their performance.
