School of Rock is happy to serve San Ramon and surrounding areas with quality music lessons from real, practicing musicians. We teach everything from singing to piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums, ukulele, and songwriting. Students can develop their skills in popular local genres including pop, punk, metal, and indie in a supportive and encouraging learning environment.

At School of Rock San Ramon, our music program for children with no previous musical experience (typically ages 6 to 7-years-old) 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 (typically ages 7-11) is one of School of Rock San Ramon’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 101 students in San Ramon have a weekly private music lesson with an instructor who helps them learn the concepts and skills behind their performance songs. The Performance Program (typically ages 11-18) at School of Rock San Ramon 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 San Ramon Performance Program students take the stage and play at local San Ramon music venues in front of a live audience.

School of Rock San Ramon’s Adult Program is for students over 18 years old who are looking to either improve their musical proficiency or pick up an instrument with no prior musical experience. As with most School of Rock music programs, the Adult Program uses a performance-based music education approach. This means the curriculum focuses on learning music concepts and applying them in a live performance setting. Our Adult Music Program includes one weekly private music lesson and a weekly group rehearsal. Every student at School of Rock San Ramon is placed in a band of fellow adults and then assigned specific songs as a way of learning key music concepts and skills. Adult students then take the stage to play at a live show in San Ramon.
