Tucson is the hometown of Linda Ronstadt and we believe the local area continues to be a great place for budding artists. By jamming in a band together with friends while learning to read and play music by ear, students gain the confidence to truly be a rock star. Our students perform at community-based events and festivals like the 4th Ave Street Fair and Tucson's Walk for Alzheimer's.
Our students also regularly play at local establishments like Hotel Congress, On the Rocks, and more! Rock is one of School of Rock Tucson's top programs for kids and beginners.
Students have one weekly group rehearsal where they learn to play classic rock songs that have been simplified for beginner musicians. Additionally, Rock students in Tucson have a weekly private music lesson with an instructor who helps them learn the concepts and skills behind their performance songs.
Our music programs for kids in Tucson 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. The Performance Program at School of Rock Tucson is our hallmark music program, where tens of thousands of students enroll each year. 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. Every few months, School of Rock Tucson Performance Program students take the stage and play at local Tucson music venues in front of a live audience.
