What ages do you teach?
We have students from 5 years and upwards.

Is Rock the only style you teach?
No we can teach other styles, but we mainly focus on Rock.

Do I have to have natural ability (talent)?
No anyone can learn to sing or play an instrument.
All you need is the desire and the motivation to learn and practice.

I'm not very confident, does it matter?
No In fact, most people are very nervous about learning to play an instrument in front of someone else. Our lessons are all one on one and our teachers are fantastic - they make you feel really comfortable. All teachers were students once too. They're all very friendly and honest and you'll be surprised how quickly you'll settle in.

Do you teach absolute beginners or advanced?
We all have to start somewhere.
We have a lot of absolute beginners who have just become interested in playing an instrument.
We also teach professional musicians looking to brush up on their technique.

Do I have to be able to read music?
No However, if you want to get serious about your music and become the best musician you can be then learning to read music is a great step in that direction. Nevertheless, it is true that many great musicians still make great music without being able to read music.

What happens in a lesson?
Our focus is on teaching you to play or sing a song from one of your favourite bands. Every instrument differs slightly and the direction you wish to go will play a role in what you do in your lessons. You can discuss your interests with your teacher during your lessons.

Do you have a set curriculum?
No There are a lot of different avenues and styles in the music industry so we work closely with each individual student to make sure we are guiding them in the direction that they choose to explore. Lessons are tailored to each individual.

How much are lessons and how long are they?
Lessons are weekly. $25 for ½ an hour.

Do I need to be a current student to qualify for the Support Band Program?
Yes only currently enrolled students qualify for the Support Band Program.

How long does it take to learn?
Everyone's different.
All teachers at Rosie's School of Rock work in the industry and have exceptional playing and teaching skills. This means that you will learn faster with your teacher (and avoid developing bad habits) than you would somewhere else or on your own at home.
However, it still depends a lot on just how much you practice. Your teacher is your own private library source and it depends what you do with that information between lessons.

Do I have to own an instrument?
Not necessarily but practising is what makes you develop as a musician and you can't practice if you don't have an instrument.
The following guide may help:

Drums
We don't expect you to bring a drum kit to lessons. There is a drum kit at the school for you to have your lessons on. Regarding practicing outside lessons: you can start off with just a practice pad and a set of sticks.

Guitar and Bass
Most musicians prefer to use their own instrument, if you don't own your own instrument we will provide one for you for your lessons.

Piano, Keyboards and Singing
Your instruments and accessories will be provided for you in your lesson.

Do I receive a GigBag with Rock n Roll goodies each term?
Yes upon full payment at the start of each term you will be provided with a GigBag.

Will there be an end of year performance?
Yes the focus of Rosie's School of Rock is for everyone to get up and have a go.
