About this Article

Aside from ongoing lessons for beginners and beyond in guitar, keyboards and percussion, School of Rock offers camps that focus on a particular genre or artist. Funk and Reggae, The Beatles, and Punk are a few of focuses taught over an abbreviated time; from a seven-hour Saturday to a full week ending in a performance.
