Park Slope Rock School

PSRS offers students ages 8-16 the opportunity to practice, perform, write and record rock music in a positive, interactive and exciting environment, regardless of ability level. From the first day of class through the end of the semester, our students are making music as a band, learning the basics of playing and performing rock music in a collaborative setting. Our curriculum incorporates various elements of rock composition and performance, with lessons focusing on rhythm, chord progressions, improvisation, instrument technique, songwriting and stage presence. In 2011, PSRS opened a second location in Paris, bringing our unique program to students all across Europe. 

Rock music, unlike other genres, offer students a sense of immediate gratification. In order for young musicians to be inspired to continue their musical studies and make music a part of their lives, it’s important for them to have the opportunity to see immediate results and experience the joy of making music with others. A rock band provides a perfect model, where students can grasp concepts quickly and easily.
