About Us

Summary Content

At Rock U, we know music is meant to be social and fun! Forget those isolating private lessons and lonely practice schedules. We do things differently by bringing musicians together to form bands, because jamming with friends is how music should be. Our approach focuses on collaborative band experiences where you play  the genres you love. This way, you not only have a blast but also build your skills and stay motivated. At Rock U, we're all about creating an awesome learning experience connected to the music you’re passionate about. Our bands focus on the core rock instruments: guitar, bass, drums, keys, and vocals.  Our rock musician instructors work with students to build setlists, arrange songs, and work toward a final rockin' performance. Let's rock together!
