School of Rock Chatham is THE place for your child to become a musician. We have interactive, performance-based programs for kids and teens ages 3 and older!
At School of Rock Chatham our Little Wing music program for preschoolers and toddlers (ages 3-5) teaches students foundational music skills by playing games and participating in other interactive musical activities. Little Wing students have one weekly group music lesson in which they use classic rock songs to learn about rhythm, song structure, melody and dynamics through play.
Our beginner's group class for kids aged 6-7 is called Rookies. Rookies students have one weekly group music lesson where they learn fundamentals like chords, rhythm and song structure. Kids get to learn and experiment with multiple instruments so they can later decide which one they ultimately want to continue pursuing in Rock 101.
Rock 101 (ages 8-12) is where young musicians learn to play together! Students have one weekly group rehearsal where they learn to play classic rock songs that have been simplified for beginner musicians. Additionally, Rock 101 students have a weekly private music lesson with an instructor who helps them learn the concepts and skills behind their performance songs.
Once your child (ages 10+) has mastered some essential skills and is ready to hit the stage, they'll join our Performance Program! 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 learning ability. 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 Chatham Performance Program students take the stage and play at local music venues in front of a live audience.
